Description

Elizabeth Bush Anemone is a sophisticated and long-blooming perennial that brings elegant, airy charm to the late-season garden. From late summer well into fall, it sends up a profusion of pure white, saucer-shaped flowers with a central boss of golden-yellow stamens, creating a delightful contrast. The blooms rise gracefully on slender, wiry stems above a handsome mound of dark green, deeply lobed foliage. Exceptionally floriferous and reliable, 'Elizabeth' is perfect for adding light and movement to borders, cottage gardens, or alongside water features where its refined beauty can be admired.

  • Profuse Late-Season Blooms: Produces an abundance of pristine white, single flowers with bright yellow centers from late summer through autumn, when many other perennials are fading.

  • Elegant, Airy Habit: Flowers are held on tall, slender stems that dance gracefully in the breeze above the foliage, adding movement and lightness to the garden.

  • Attractive Foliage Mound: Forms a dense, basal clump of dark green, deeply cut, leathery leaves that remain tidy and attractive throughout the growing season.

  • Long-Lasting Garden Performance: Offers one of the longest bloom periods among Japanese anemones, providing weeks of reliable color and interest.

  • Versatile for Part Shade: Thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soils, making it ideal for woodland edges, shaded borders, or the damp margins of ponds and streams.

Faqs

Q: Is it invasive like some other anemones?
A: 'Elizabeth' is a well-behaved cultivar. It forms clumps that spread gradually but are not considered aggressively invasive like some older Anemone hupehensis or Anemone tomentosa varieties. It's easily managed by division every few years if needed.

Q: What are the best conditions for it to thrive?
A: It prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soil in partial shade. Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. It dislikes dry, poor soils and will struggle in full, hot sun. Consistent moisture, especially during establishment and bloom, is key to success.
