Anemone hupehensis 'Praecox'

Anemone hupehensis 'Praecox' is a clump-forming, deciduous perennial valued for its single soft pink blooms with golden centres carried on airy, wiry stems from late summer into autumn. Reliable and fully hardy in Irish gardens, it thrives in moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil, in sun or light shade, and is ideal for bringing graceful late-season colour to mixed and cottage-style borders. Growth is steady, forming expanding clumps over time.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
