Anemone x h. 'Pamina'

Overview and Features

Anemone × hybrida 'Pamina' is a robust Japanese anemone cultivar cherished for its vibrant semi-double deep pink blooms that appear from late summer to mid-autumn. Unlike some taller varieties, 'Pamina' is more compact and well-behaved, making it a popular choice for smaller borders, shady spots, and cottage-style gardens.

It produces rose-pink flowers with a prominent ring of yellow stamens, held above attractive dark green foliage. This cultivar brings strong colour late in the season when many other perennials are fading, and its nectar-rich blooms are excellent for pollinators.

Preferred Growing Conditions

‘Pamina’ is adaptable to a range of garden conditions but thrives best in lightly shaded, moist locations with space to expand slowly by rhizomes.

Light Conditions

• Prefers partial shade

• Tolerates full sun if soil stays consistently moist

• Avoid deep shade or very dry sites

Soil Type

• Grows best in moist, fertile, well-drained soils

• Tolerates loam, clay, and improved sandy soils

• Enrich soil with compost or well-rotted organic matter

Planting Tips

• Plant in spring or autumn, spacing about 40–60 cm apart

• Water well at planting and mulch to retain moisture

• Ideal for naturalising in woodland-style beds or under deciduous trees

Maintenance, Feeding, and Seasonal Care

Watering

• Requires regular watering during dry weather and during the first year of establishment

• Keep soil evenly moist throughout summer and flowering season

Feeding

• Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring

• Mulch annually with garden compost or leaf mould to retain soil moisture and improve fertility

Pruning and Deadheading

• Deadhead spent blooms to maintain neatness and extend flowering

• Cut back flower stems in late autumn or early winter

• Tidy foliage in early spring before new growth appears

Winter Hardiness and Long-Term Care

• Hardy in all parts of the UK and Ireland; no special protection required

• Mulch around the base in autumn to protect roots and improve soil

• Clumps will slowly spread over time—divide every 3–5 years in early spring if needed

• May take a year or two to fully establish, but once settled, it's a reliable long-term garden performer
