Check Here Before Buying – Pot Size Matters...Not all websites offer the same. Plants in a 2-litre pot have twice the root system of a P9 or 1 litre pot.
Masses of large, semi-double, bowl-shaped, rich pink blooms with slightly ruffled petals and a bright golden-yellow centre are produced repeatedly from August to October. This is a majestic, clump-forming anemone with a graceful, upright branched growth habit and semi-evergreen, vine-like, bronzy, dark green leaves. The flowers are held high above the plant on long, stiff flowering stems and contrast beautifully with the fresh foliage. Perfect for adding a splash of colour to partially shaded areas of the garden, it looks lovely massed in a woodland setting or spotted into wild rock gardens.
It also produces attractive cut flowers and makes a great choice for adding a splash of colour to a semi-shaded spot of the garden in late summer and autumn. 'Königin Charlotte' (Queen Charlotte) it is slow growing in the first year after planting, then rapidly forms a large colony once established.
Anemone is a genus of approximately 120 species of perennials. The name is often said to come from the Greek word anemos meaning 'wind'. They can be divided into three main groups:
- Those from woodland & alpine pastures which flower in spring
- Those from the Mediterranean or Central Asia which flower in late spring or early summer
- Larger herbaceous species which flowers in late summer to autumn
Buying Perennials from Jacksons Nurseries
At Jacksons Nurseries we lightly trim back our perennials after flowering and trim them back at the end of the season to ensure that the plants remain neat and tidy whilst in the pot. The more tender the plant the less we cut back to help protect exposed stems from winter frost. Depending on the plant variety we will then prune back further in spring once the risk of the more severe frosts is over.
As a result, depending on the time of year you buy perennials, they may not look like images showing their ‘prime time’ in flower and looking at their best.
From late autumn onwards and dependent on variety, there may be very little visible above the soil except for a few cut back dormant leaves or stems. It is perfectly normal for dormant plants to look like this from autumn onwards, they will however burst back into life in spring.

Perennials are described and classified differently by different gardeners but all would agree that they are plants that come into flower every year from early spring to late summer, the exact time dependent on variety and most die back to ground level in autumn and winter.
As for all plants, soil preparation is time well spent. Dig over the area to be planted ensuring that the ground is free draining. If not then you may wish to either consider planting in a different spot or raising the level of the planting area by adding additional topsoil, well rotted garden compost and/or well rotted manure. Add ‘Fish, Blood and Bone’ fertiliser or a high potash fertiliser to encourage good root growth and development.
It’s always a good idea to plant a few of the same plant together, we recommend planting in 3’s or 5’s to provide a bold effect but allowing them plenty of room to develop.
Always check eventual plant heights when planning borders to ensure that the taller plants are at the back (or at the centre of an island bed) followed by the medium and then smaller low growing plants.
Remember to deadhead perennials after flowering, trim back lightly in autumn as required to tidy the border and if necessary trim again in spring once the risk of heavy frost has passed.
If perennials get too big, start to flower less and less or if it seems to be dying off from the centre, consider dividing the plant but always check that the particular variety is happy to be divided and that you divide at the right time of year for the plant.
By using this simple guide and a little time, perennials can make an absolutely spectacular difference to your garden.
