Pamina Anemone

Pamina is a compact Japanese anemone with divided green foliage and double, deep rose-pink flowers centered by golden stamens. It brings color to borders in late summer and autumn, when many earlier perennials have finished flowering. ## Appearance and placement The RHS lists “Anemone × hybrida ‘Pamina’” as a synonym of the accepted botanical name Anemone hupehensis var. japonica ‘Pamina’, confirming the catalog's cultivar identity. Its erect flower stems rise above a low mound of foliage; use it in the middle of a sunny or lightly shaded border, or in a naturalistic drift where its late-season flowers can be seen. The RHS describes flowers around 5 cm across and an upright plant to about 75 cm. [Wasco Nursery](https://www.wasconursery.com/pamina-anemone/) reports rose-pink, semi-double flowers and a tidy foliage mound, while [Hoo House Nursery](https://hoohouse.co.uk/plants/anemone-hupehensis-pamina/) records flowering from August to October. ## Growing conditions Give Pamina moist, fertile soil that drains well; it grows in full sun or partial shade and benefits from reliable moisture during dry weather. It spreads by suckers and may expand into a colony after establishment, so leave room or remove shoots that cross the bed edge. Avoid cold, waterlogged winter soil. RHS notes that contact may irritate skin and ingestion may cause mild stomach upset; wear gloves when handling if sensitive. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and prolonged dry spells, and mulch in spring to conserve moisture. Cut back flowered stems in late autumn and tidy dead foliage in spring. Divide congested clumps in early spring only when needed, and check the edge of the planting as it spreads.
