September charm anemone is a delightfully late-blooming perennial that complements a perennial border. Best grown in partly shaded areas while protected from strong winds, this perennial blooms from August to October. The frosted pink blooms are laced with hints of rose-pink colors with a golden yellow center. The delicate blooms dance atop wiry, graceful stems rising above attractive dark green foliage.
