Anemone 'Riviera Mix'

Anemone 'Riviera Mix' is a joyful collection of double-flowered anemones, combining sumptuous colour with the sort of ruffled blooms that make it difficult to choose a favourite. Large, long-lasting flowers appear in a lively palette of crisp white, shell pink, vivid fuchsia-pink, rich purple-blue and brilliant red, often centred with a contrasting dark eye for extra drama. The many layers of petals give Anemone 'Riviera Mix' a wonderfully full, almost painterly appearance, yet the flowers retain the fresh, breezy character that makes anemones so appealing. Flowering through spring and into summer, Anemone 'Riviera Mix' brings weeks of colour to beds and borders, and is equally charming in patio pots, window boxes and even hanging baskets.

For maximum effect, plant Anemone 'Riviera Mix' generously and allow its jewel-like colours to mingle naturally, creating a display that feels exuberant rather than overly arranged. These mixed double anemones are also superb for cutting, with their strong colours, intricate centres and generous flowers bringing instant character to vases and bouquets. Anemone 'Riviera Mix' can be planted in spring for flowers later in the season, or planted as late as autumn for a display the following year, although some winter protection is advisable in colder or exposed gardens. Versatile, long flowering and gloriously colourful, Anemone 'Riviera Mix' is an easy way to give containers and borders a little more theatre.
