Description
Soft, romantic, and such a gift at the end of summer. Anemone ‘Queen Charlotte’ produces elegant, semi-double pink blooms on tall, slender stems, dancing above fresh green foliage when so many other plants are starting to fade. It’s one of those perennials that makes a border feel lighter, longer, and more alive.

Description
‘Queen Charlotte’ is all about gentle impact. The flowers are a soft, rosy pink with a fuller, semi-double form that feels really special up close — but from a distance it reads as a floating haze of colour. It’s perfect for bringing that “second wave” of flowering into the garden, especially in borders that peak in June and then go quiet.
It also pairs beautifully with deeper autumn tones — think burgundy foliage, seed heads, and warm grasses — giving you a border that feels intentional right through to the first frosts.
Where to plant
- Mid-to-back of a border where it can rise through other planting
- Along the edge of light woodland or under open-canopy trees
- Near patios and paths so you can enjoy the flowers up close
- In drifts for a more natural, meadowy look
Care & planting notes
- Watering: Keep evenly moist in the first year; mulch helps hugely in summer
- Support: In windy gardens, a discreet support ring can help in peak flower
- Maintenance:
- Deadhead to extend flowering if you like
- Leave seed heads for a softer autumn look, then cut back in late winter/early spring
- Soil tip: Add compost at planting for best establishment
Caragh’s Garden Notebook
Japanese anemones are brilliant “weavers” — plant them in groups and let them thread through grasses and late perennials. If you want a really elevated autumn border, repeat ‘Queen Charlotte’ in two or three spots rather than keeping it as a single clump.
Perfect partners
- Grasses: Miscanthus, Calamagrostis, Pennisetum
- Autumn perennials: Sedum, asters, rudbeckia
- Foliage contrast: Heuchera, ferns, dark-leaved shrubs
