Anemone coronaria "Rosa Shocking"

Anemone coronaria 'Mistral Rosa Shocking' features deep reddish-pink flowers with black centers. This stunning Italian variety has large rose-colored blooms with soft pink halos and a hint of green on the outer petals.

A favorite among gardeners and florists, it produces long-lasting cut flowers that can stay fresh for up to two weeks in a vase. These vigorous, healthy plants result from careful cross-breeding at an Italian nursery and thrive in both gardens and floral arrangements.

Native to the Mediterranean, Coronaria anemones, or poppy anemones (also called windflowers) naturalize easily and make a dazzling view when planted en masse in the garden border or container.

This listing is for the sale of corms, not flowers, which are like little bulbs in that all the energy of the plant is stored in one compact place.
