Anemone
'Serenade'
Japanese windflower
Anemone 'Serenade' is a true showstopper, with its semi-double, deep lavender-pink flowers that create a striking contrast against its fresh, green foliage. These elegant blooms, featuring a cheerful yellow central boss of stamens, are perfect for adding a splash of colour to late summer and autumn gardens. Whether you’re looking to brighten up a border or create a soft, romantic touch in a woodland garden, Japanese Anemone 'Serenade' will serenade you with its beauty. This variety’s graceful appearance makes it a natural for mixed plantings or cutting gardens, offering both elegance and substance.
What makes Anemone 'Serenade' particularly special is its long flowering period, extending well into the cooler months when many other plants have already started to fade. Its rich lavender-pink flowers stand out beautifully, particularly when planted against darker foliage or in a contrasting garden scheme. Easy to grow in well-drained soil and a partially shaded spot, Anemone × hybrida 'Serenade' is a reliable perennial that brings a touch of sophistication with minimal effort. If you’re after a charming, hardy variety to add late-season colour to your garden, Anemone 'Serenade' is the perfect choice to create a stunning autumnal display.
Our Anemone 'Serenade' plants are supplied as a 9cm pot with healthy growth, ensuring a strong start. They are carefully shipped in our unique cardboard box, designed to keep them safe and in top condition. This ensures they arrive healthy and ready to thrive in their new home.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
