Characteristics of Anemone × lesseri ‘Spring Beauty Pink’®
This herbaceous perennial forms a compact clump of deeply divided, slightly downy, deep green leaves. Straight, sturdy flower stems rise to approximately 45 cm. They carry numerous upward-facing single flowers, whose bright pink tepals surround a pale centre with yellow stamens. Flowering generally begins in May and continues through June. This early flowering period clearly distinguishes it from Japanese anemones, which mainly bloom in late summer. The cultivar is sterile and therefore does not produce self-sown seedlings, although the clump may gradually expand through its underground root system.
How to use Anemone × lesseri ‘Spring Beauty Pink’®?
Its compact habit is suitable for the front of borders, edging, cool rock gardens and small urban gardens. It may be planted in groups of three to five specimens to create a clearly defined spring display. Its bright pink flowers combine well with hardy geraniums, heucheras, low-growing ferns and compact ornamental grasses. Container cultivation is also suitable: use a well-drained pot with a capacity of at least 5–10 litres. Unlike taller Japanese anemones, this cultivar remains well proportioned in restricted spaces, and its sturdy stems rarely require support.
What are the recommended cultivation practices for Anemone × lesseri ‘Spring Beauty Pink’®?
Plant in spring or autumn in fertile, moisture-retentive and well-drained soil, avoiding persistent winter waterlogging. Full sun encourages abundant flowering where the soil remains sufficiently moist, while partial shade is preferable in warmer positions. Allow approximately 30–35 cm between plants. Loosen the soil before planting and incorporate mature compost where organic matter is limited. Water regularly during establishment and throughout prolonged dry periods. A moderate application of compost may be made in spring. Remove faded flower stems and cut back the dry foliage in late autumn.
