Anemone Bordeaux is a spectacular spring flowering variety producing large, velvety deep burgundy-red blooms with dramatic dark centres surrounded by an eye-catching violet-blue ring. Flowering during May and June, these elegant cup-shaped flowers are carried on sturdy stems reaching approximately 30cm in height. Their rich colouring and long vase life make them an outstanding choice for borders, containers and cut flower displays.

Ideal for adding bold contrast to spring planting schemes, Anemone Bordeaux thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions with well-drained soil. The vibrant flowers also attract bees and other pollinators, bringing colour and wildlife into the garden throughout the season.
