Anemone coronaria 'Mistral Pale' is a stunning Italian Anemone with large, soft lilac blooms, occasional hints of green, and sometimes extra petals.
A favorite among gardeners and florists, it produces long-lasting cut flowers that can stay fresh for up to two weeks in a vase. These vigorous, healthy plants result from careful cross-breeding at an Italian nursery and thrive in both gardens and floral arrangements.
Native to the Mediterranean, Coronaria anemones, or poppy anemones (also called windflowers) naturalize easily and make a dazzling view when planted en masse in the garden border or container.
