(12-18" tall x 18-24" wide) Explore the joys of a three-season garden with Fantasy™ 'Red Riding Hood' Anemone PPAF! Just as the summer garden is winding down, you'll be delighted to find strong, rosy blooms emerging above vigorous green foliage. Golden yellow centers contrast beautifully with deep pink flower petals. After a long blooming season, flowers transform gently into cottonball seed heads that add another element to the fall garden. 'Red Riding Hood,' like many Anemones, is a versatile perennial that can be used in the partial sun garden, bringing blooms to shadier areas and covering the ground with attractive weed-blocking foliage during most of the growing season. Its compact size gives the gardener a lot of options when siting it – including using it in containers! Plant 'Red Riding Hood' in well-drained, moisture retentive soil and give it room to spread. The bees and other pollinators will enjoy that late summer blooms, and so will you!
