Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' is a vigorous, fibrous-rooted, mounding, compact Japanese anemone
hybrid cultivar that spreads by creeping rhizomes. Large single white flowers with yellow
centers appear on long, wiry-but-graceful, branching stems over an attractive foliage mound of
dark green leaves. It has a long bloom period from August to September. ‘Honorine Jobert’ is
an old garden hybrid discovered in France in 1858.
It is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best in part
shade with protection from wind. Foliage tends to burn in hot, dry, sunny summer conditions. It
prefers consistently moist, humus-rich soils with good drainage. Soils must not be allowed to
dry out. Avoid wet, poorly drained soils, however, particularly in winter. May be slow to
establish, but naturalizes well in optimum growing conditions.
It has no serious pest or disease problems, but taller flowers may require some staking.
Anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’ makes an excellent cut flower and is well-suited to any perennial
border, cottage garden, or open woodland garden.
