Anemone 'Fullstar Red'

If you are a fan of the beautiful, spring-flowering poppy anemones ('St Brigid' or 'De Caen'), with their single or semi-double flowers in bright vibrant colours, then you will not want to miss this fully double, breakthrough version. Anemone 'Fullstar Red' produces pompom-like flowers, 10cm or more across – twice the size of typical poppy anemones – in shades from bright scarlet to deep cherry. The leaves are bright green, and have fine cuts and divisions in them, giving them an almost fern-like appearance. This is a gorgeous, vibrant perennial bulb that is sure to turn heads!

Anemone coronaria 'Fullstar Red' anemones are perfect for the front of beds and borders in full sun or part shade. They are also great for patio containers, and for mixed cutting gardens, as the fabulous long-lasting flowers come on long stalks – perfect for the vase; the ‘Fullstar’ Anemone range is widely used in the cut-flower trade. The flowers look good, too, on seasonal rock gardens. You are also likely to find that many of the usual garden pests, including rabbits and deer, won’t bother them.
