General Culture:
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best in part shade with protection from wind. Foliage tends to burn in hot, dry, sunny summer conditions. Prefers consistently moist, humusy soils with good drainage. Soils must not allowed to dry out. Avoid wet, poorly drained soils, however, particularly in winter. May be slow to establish, but naturalizes well in optimum growing conditions.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
'Pamina' is a vigorous, fibrous-rooted, mounding, compact Japanese anemone cultivar which typically grows to 3' tall and spreads by creeping rhizomes. Semi-double flowers (2-3" diameter) with overlapping rose-pink petals (actually tepals) and yellow centers appear on long, wiry-but-graceful, branching stems over an attractive foliage mound of trifoliate dark green leaves. Lengthy August to September bloom period.
