Fascinating pink-tinted flowers with a creamy centre appear from early to midsummer over the mid-green leaves. Like a giant anemone the centres of these extraordinary scented flowers are packed full of tiny strap-like petals. An excellent specimen plant for the middle of a border in full sun or partial shade.

Garden Care: Deadhead after flowering. In early spring apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure. Fungal diseases may occur in cool wet springs so prune out any affected parts and spray the remaining sections with fungicide.
