A semi-double floral jewel like no other, this anemone will elevate your beds and borders to soaring new heights, thanks to its ruffled, lilac-tinged flowers (complete with vibrant, yolk-yellow stamens) which sway gracefully on delicately dancing stems One of the things that sets this anemone apart from other varieties is its long flowering season, with blooms opening up from purple buds from mid-summer all the way through to the middle of autumn A versatile plant, 'Frilly Knickers' can be grown in patio pots, in the front/middle of the border, or as part of a more informal wildlife meadow or traditional cottage garden scheme For most people, if you called them a clump, you'd be (not unjustly) met with a lump to the face, but in the case of 'Frilly Knickers', it's very much a complement! Its clump-forming habit means it's more easily contained and managed, and is therefore great for gardens with more limited space In 2020, 'Frilly Knickers' won the Virtual Visitors Vote at the Horticultural Trades Association's Virtual New Plants Awards, receiving a whopping one-third of the total votes!
