'Serenade' is an anemone hybrid with rose-pink, double petaled flowers that bloom late summer into the fall. Flowers stand on wiry, erect stems about the lush green, three-lobed leaves. This is a smaller cultivar, with the foliage growing to about a foot tall and 2 feet wide, and the flowers stems rising to about 2 feet. Plant in a part to full shade border.
Grow in well drained, loamy soils in part to full shade. Though it requires more moisture than A. tomentosa, the soil shouldn't be wet and does need to be well draining to avoid the crown rotting. Anemone are vigorous, fibrous-rooted perennials that spread by creeping rhizomes. Resistant to deer and rabbits, but attractive to butterflies. Japanese anemone cultivars are commonly sold as Anemone x hybrida or Anemone japonica.
