Anemone 'Bowles Pink'
We introduced this in 1996 from the UK, a lovely deep rich pink colour with single flowers on tall stems.
Slender wiry stems topped with lolly pink pompoms about the size of a mulberry, flowering for months in summer. Like other sanguisorba they are drought tolerant, but like some clay below the surface.
