Add Late-Summer Colour with Japanese Anemone 'September Charm'

The Anemone x hybrida 'September Charm' is a celebrated perennial, prized for its graceful, semi-double pink blooms that appear from August to October.

Its soft, rose-pink flowers and dark green foliage create a striking focal point in any garden.
