Anemone 'Frilly knickers'

Anemone Frilly Knickers is the one we have been waiting for! Many new anemones have come onto the market promising double white, bi-color flowers on a vigorous, clump-forming plant, but so many have been a disappointment. Leave it to British gardening guru Rosemary Hardy to find one who is actually perfect and quite tough. Semi-double white flowers with the most adorably ruffled edges unfurl to reveal a surprise on their backside - a periwinkle lavender back and dark stems. 

This is a tough plant, growing to 24" tall in full flower and completely covered in flowers. the tough, leathery, olive green leaves make for the perfect backdrop to the flowers. This is a great plant for the woodland edge, and all along the middle of any mixed border or sunny foundation planting.
