Pink upright-growing cultivar of Japanese anemone. We acquired our specimen after years of growing the white 'Andrea Atkinson'. The pink is a nice change of pace (I still like the white forms a lot too!). Online photos of 'Prince Henry' tend to feature flowers that are much fuller, so I'm not entirely sure if our plant is correctly named. To be honest, I think I like the plainer, flatter appearance of ours better. And it certainly puts on an explosive flower show in the late garden.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
