Anemone Leveillei (Japanese windflower)

Anemone leveillei, commonly known as the Japanese Windflower, is a graceful perennial that brings a touch of wild beauty to gardens with its delicate flowers and elegant foliage. Known for its soft, white blooms with a subtle pink flush, this variety stands out in late summer to early autumn when most other flowers have begun to fade. The flowers, perched atop slender stems, are a lovely contrast to its deep green, deeply lobed leaves, which create a lush backdrop in borders and woodland settings.

This charming windflower is perfect for adding a naturalistic feel to your garden, thriving in partially shaded areas or woodland gardens where the light is dappled. It’s ideal for those looking to create a serene, low-maintenance garden with a soft colour palette. As a perennial, it’s a reliable returner each year, gradually spreading into clumps for a beautiful display of autumn flowers. Anemone leveillei is also prized by pollinators, making it a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
