Lovely semi-double, richly colored rose-pink flowers wave gracefully in the slightest breeze on Queen Charlotte anemone (Anemone x hybrida ‘Queen Charlotte’). The tips of each of the 10 to 15 petals are notched, an excellent diagnostic characteristic when trying to differentiate the cultivars. The flowers are produced well above the dark-green compound leaves that effectively smother out most weeds. This plant can be grown in full sun but prefers partial shade and soils that are well drained but constantly moist throughout the growing season. The leaves and foliage are deer and rabbit resistant. Queen Charlotte comes with her own what’s-in-a-name story. In the United States, she is most frequently sold as Queen Charlotte, while in parts of Europe this same cultivar is sold under the names Konigin Charlotte or Reine Charlotte.
