Mona Lisa Deep Blue Anemone

Mona Lisa Deep Blue Anemone (Anemone coronaria Mona Lisa Deep Blue) is a masterpiece of the early spring garden. Renowned for its elegant, "true blue" petals and dark, moody centers, this variety produces large 4- to 4.5-inch flowers that look as if they were plucked from a Mediterranean hillside.

As a premium member of the Anemone genus, the Mona Lisa series is specifically bred for its height and vigor. Standing on sturdy 18-inch stems, these flowers are held well above the delicate, parsley-like foliage, making them a top-tier choice for professional-grade cut flower arrangements. Unlike many spring bulbs, this series begins its show in late winter, providing essential early-season color for rock gardens, woodland borders, and mixed containers. Their exceptionally long vase life ensures that their sophisticated beauty can be enjoyed indoors just as much as in the landscape.

Why you’ll love it:

• Rare Deep Blue Color: Saturated, cool blue tones that are difficult to find in other spring-blooming perennials.
• Tall, Sturdy Stems: Bred specifically for the cut flower industry, offering long stems that don't flop in arrangements.
• Early Season Interest: Starts blooming in late winter and early spring when the garden needs color most.
• Mediterranean Heritage: Naturally adapted to sunny spots and well-drained soils; perfect for rock gardens.
• Florist Quality: Features a superior vase life and large, high-impact flower heads.

This 4-inch healthy live plant thrives in full sun to partial shade. To keep it performing at its peak, provide moderate water and ensure the soil has excellent drainage. Reaching a height of up to 24 inches, it adds a graceful, vertical element to the garden. Hardy in USDA Zones 8–11, Mona Lisa Deep Blue is an essential selection for anyone looking to bridge the gap between winter and spring with world-class floral displays.
