Solved This is probably really easy...

But does anyone know what this is? It's from my friends garden, and at first I thought it was just flat-leaf parsley due to the masses of leaves that first grew, but all of a sudden its starting to sprout these gorgeous pink flowers. Does anyone know the name of this plant?

 

Its an anemone

 

Thank you

 

Looks like Anemone coronaria de Caen.

And a stunning specimen too
don't you just love that cerise/ purple? Reminds me of a Zambian Amethyst,

It is really nice yeah. If I can find out where sells those, I want some for next year for my garden!

 

Hi Grum Tum,

This one could be a variety called "Sylphide".

Anemone de Caen (single) and Anemone St Brigid (semi-double) grow from small corms and are freely available from about August onwards. Even our Poundland sells them in packs of 25.

They are really easy to grow as long as you soak the corms first (when you buy them they look like dried up raisins), which swells the corms up.

If you stagger the planting and put a few in pots for overwintering you can have them in flower all year round.
