Anemone hupehensis 'Elfin Swan'

The backs of the flowers are prettier than their faces - they have mauve sepals and it's a favourite colour of mine.

They do look elegant too Hywel.

I’m so glad you are a fan of the “swans” too Hywel. I have the A, ruffled swan, A. Dreaming swan, as well as the first in the series, Wild Swan. All bred by Elizabeth McGregor in Scotland. There’s an article today in the press about Japanese anemones and I was surprised that these … all with gorgeous mauve backs , weren’t mentioned.
