Description
Crank up the flower power in your garden with a full charge of electric blue blooms, abundantly put forth by generous Anemone 'Mr Fokker'. Throwing out multiple stems per bulb, each topped with a large mauve-blue flower, it’s almost unreal how absolutely gorgeous and prolific they are. An ample planting of the irresistible Anemone 'Mr Fokker will bring a good dose of colour to your garden which will blend beautifully with mauves and pinks or create a buzzing contrast when combined with white, orange or red.
The blooms of Anemone 'Mr Fokker' are typically very long lasting and they’re strongly supported atop long, slender stems. The wonderful violet-blue colour is often associated with power and prestige—it’s the colour of kings! The foliage of these blue garden anemones is ferny and lush, the middle of each flower is also intriguing, a rounded dark blue cone which shows off an interesting iridescent sheen. Not only is Anemone coronaria 'Mr Fokker' a real gem in your borders and pots, but it’s also a very popular cut flower with an impressive vase life.
