  • Description

  • Notes

'Honorine Jobert' is a vigorous, fibrous-rooted, mounding, compact Japanese anemone hybrid cultivar, which typically grows to 3 to 4 feet tall and spreads nearly as wide by creeping rhizomes. Single flowers (as large as 2 to 3 inches across) with overlapping white petals and yellow center stamens appear on long, wiry-but-graceful, branching stems. Foliage is an attractive mound of lobed dark green leaves. Lengthy August to September bloom period. A wonderful addition to a shady border.
Grow in well drained, loamy soils in part to full shade. Though it requires more moisture than A. tomentosa, the soil shouldn't be wet and does need to be well draining to avoid the crown rotting. Resistant to deer and rabbits, but attractive to butterflies. Japanese anemone cultivars are commonly sold as Anemone x hybrida or Anemone japonica. 'Honorine Jobert' is an old garden hybrid discovered in Verdun, France in 1858. Synonymous with A. x hybrida 'Alba'
