Anemone x hybrida 'Party Dress' (Pink Japanese Anemone) - Perennial plant with glossy green foliage to 20 inches tall. In late summer through fall, rising on stems to 36-38 inches tall are big, fluffy double pink flowers to 3 1/2 inches in diameter - nearly twice the size of most Japanese Anemones. This prolific bloomer may require staking like most tall Japanese Anemones. Plant in full sun to partial shade and water regularly. Hardy to USDA Hardiness Zones 5 (0° F). Great in the back of informal flower beds with other tall plants. Discovered by the Inventor as a chance seedling from a random cross-pollination of two unnamed selections of Anemone x hybrida, not patented. This Anemone was selected by Fredrika Bronsther in 1997 of Hewlett, N.Y for its large pink flowers. This plant patent was filed on December 7, 2001 and received US Plant Patent PP13,844, which has since expired.
