‘Mon. Jules Elie’

‘Mon Jules Elie’ is such a wonderful colour, in my opinion, he blends with everything, and I have to stop myself planting him everywhere. Pale pink with a hint of lavender, the dome of the anemone-type bloom gets taller and taller as it matures, reminding me of an extravagant beehive hairdo. In the sunlight, the petals gleam like satin. Flowering mid season, the flowers have a pleasant fragrance and are excellent for cutting. Awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. 90cm.

Crousse. France. 1888.
