Anemone coronaria ‘Mr. Fokker’
Anemone coronaria
‘Mr. Fokker’ is the perfect
color and texture
that turns what might
be an ordinary garden
vignette into an extraodinary
one. He makes
N. ‘Actaea’ and T. ‘Barbados’
look even better
than they would without
his ferny foliage and
outstanding blue color!
Lord Lieutenant
– deep blue, semidouble
flower; beautiful;
1927.
