Anemone SATIN DOLL™ 'Blush'

Anemone SATIN DOLL™ ‘Blush’ is a compact Japanese anemone bred by Terra Nova Nurseries for an unusually early, extended display of large soft-pink flowers. Its glossy green leaves form a restrained clump, making it suitable for small borders, groundcover-style groupings, or a patio container. ## Flowers and size The [Terra Nova Nurseries profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/anemone-satin-doll-blush/) identifies the exact cultivar and lists blooms from July through October, USDA zones 4–9, and a 17-inch spread. It reports 9 inches of foliage height and 17-inch flowering stems. Terra Nova describes the plant as genetically dwarf, with a high flower count and less underground running than many anemones. [Growing Colors](https://www.growingcolors.com/plant/Anemone-SATIN-DOLL-Blush) independently identifies it as a Terra Nova introduction and gives a 9–17-inch height and 17-inch spread. The compact habit suits the front of a bed or a container where a taller Japanese anemone would overwhelm nearby plants. ## Siting Grow in full sun or part shade in average soil that holds some moisture but drains well. Terra Nova lists this cultivar for both exposures and cautions that garden soil should not remain saturated. Provide water during establishment and dry spells; afternoon shade can help in hot, exposed sites. ## Maintenance Remove damaged foliage and spent stems as needed, and clear old growth after it dies back. The cultivar is bred to run less than many Japanese anemones, but allow space for gradual clump growth and trim any shoots that cross a path or planting boundary. In colder climates, mulch after the ground cools to protect the crown through winter.
