“Elfin Swan” is a variety of Japanese Anemone grown for its showy, white and purple flowers with a yellow centre. The flowers are produced from summer through autumn and are held on slender stems above the lush, mid green foliage. This herbaceous perennial typically grows to 40 cm tall and the same wide, though may die back in cold environments to regrow again when temperatures warm. Best results with this plant are achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. This Japanese Anemone is commonly used in cottage gardens, grown in a container, included in borders and mixed plantings, or mass planted for a dramatic display.
