Overview and Description
Anemone hupehensis var. japonica ‘Pamina’ is a herbaceous perennial in the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) and is sometimes referred to as Chinese anemone due to its native origins in China. It grows from a basal clump of leaves on long petioles. The foliage is dark green, trifoliate (with 3 leaflets) and softly hairy on the underside. Mature plants reach 2.5-3 feet tall and 2-2.5 feet wide.
From late summer into fall, A hupehensis var japonica ‘Pamina’ sends up straight, upright stems topped with cup-shaped flowers in shades of deep rose-pink with contrasting yellow centers. The blooms are semi-double or double, with each flower containing 20-30 narrow, pointed tepals (petal-like structures). Flowers measure about 2 inches across and bloom abundantly for 6-8 weeks, often extending right up to first frost.
Growing Conditions
Anemone hupehensis var. japonica ‘Pamina’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and moderately moist, well-drained soil. It prefers consistently moist soils that are rich in organic matter. Fertile, neutral to slightly alkaline soil pH is ideal. Sheltered locations offer protection from strong winds which can cause the tall flower stems to flop over.
This anemone cultivar is fairly drought tolerant once established but does require adequate moisture while actively growing and flowering. Take care not to overwater, as soggy winter soils can lead to root rot. Apply an organic mulch around the base of the plants to help conserve soil moisture and insulate roots.
Landscape Uses
With its late season bloom time and bright pinkish-rose flowers, A. hupehensis var. japonica ‘Pamina’ provides a welcome burst of color to the garden when many other perennials are past their prime. It works beautifully in perennial or mixed borders. The taller, upright habit makes it a great backdrop or mid-border plant. Mass several plants together for maximum impact.
Also effective in woodland gardens or partially shaded landscape beds. Try combining with asters, mums, ornamental grasses, sedums, and other late bloomers. The flowers make nice cut specimens and also draw butterflies to the garden. Deer tend to avoid this plant.
Care and Maintenance
Anemone hupehensis var. japonica ‘Pamina’ is relatively easy to grow. It may take 2-3 years to fully establish but requires minimal care once settled in. Divide congested clumps every 3-5 years in early spring as new growth emerges. Cut plants back to the ground after frost.
Mulch plants for winter protection in colder climates. Avoid excessive summer irrigation which can lead to foliage burn. Staking of the tall stems is optional but can provide support if needed. Pinching back tips of young plants in early summer may encourage bushier growth. Watch for pests like slugs, snails, and caterpillars which may feed on foliage. Overall, a very low maintenance perennial once established.
