Splendens Japanese Anemone

Boasting large, maplelike leaves with serrated edges, Splendens provides a lush backdrop of dark green foliage for its masses of pretty, saucer- shaped blooms. The flowers display purple-pink petals and a golden halo of stamens, and are superb for cutting. Perfect for naturalized areas and blending seamlessly with ornamental grasses, these stocky, mounded plants are unappetizing to deer and rabbits.
