Anemone Fantasy™ 'Snow Angel'

Fantasy™ ‘Snow Angel’ is a compact white-flowered Japanese anemone selected for a heavy late-season display. Its pale flowers rise above fresh green foliage, brightening the front of a border or a large patio container as summer gives way to fall. ## Form and Placement Plants Nouveau lists the selection at 15–18 inches tall by 10–15 inches wide and describes it as a vigorous, flower-rich perennial for borders, containers, mass plantings, and urban gardens. Digging Dog Nursery reports a larger 18–24-inch size and flowering from August into mid-October. Leave room for a spreading clump, particularly in fertile soil. Sources differ on whether the flowers are single or semi-double, so the petal form is not used to distinguish the selection here. ## Growing Conditions The breeder recommends full sun to part shade and moist, well-drained soil. Japanese anemones perform best when soil remains evenly moist but drains freely; North Carolina State Extension notes that they spread by rhizomes and may need afternoon shade in hot southern sites. Avoid planting in persistently waterlogged ground. The breeder lists Snow Angel as Anemone ‘Ifansa’ PP31802, granted May 26, 2020. Its [Fantasy™ cultivar profile](https://www.plantsnouveau.com/solutions/matrix/anemone-fantasy-snow-angel) gives the breeder’s size, flower color, and cultural details. ## Maintenance Water consistently while the plant establishes and during prolonged dry weather. Cut back spent stems after flowering. Inspect the edge of the clump and remove rooted shoots if it begins to occupy neighboring plants’ space.
