Plants in 'La Vie en Rose' scheme

Japanese anemones are a tough and vigorous plant with lovely blooms which last for weeks and weeks - right on into late autumn. They are particularly tolerant of difficult conditions, including very dry soils or under trees and shrubs. They do well in both sun and shade and work well as a groundcover. 'Konigen Charlotte' / 'Queen Charlotte' has elegant pale pink ruffled flowers and is an especially pleasing variety.  Anemones are vigorous, so be prepared for them to spread - perfect for the low maintenance garden where they are particularly rewarding.  2-3L pot.

An exquisite Paeony with large double pink, fragrant ruffled flowers which make an excellent, if short lived cut flower. Plant in humus rich, fertile and deep soil which is well-drained, moist but not waterlogged, in sun or light shade. Cut back to ground level during the winter, and top-dress the soil with well-rotted manure or garden compost in early spring. Very long-lived and robust, but can be slow to establish. 3L pot.
