Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert'
Honorine Jobert Japanese Anemone

Fall does not necessarily signal the end of color in the garden. There are many wonderful fall blooming perennials and Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' is one of the best. This Japanese Anemone has been in gardens since the mid-nineteenth century and continues to be one of the most popular Japanese Anemones with good reason.

lives up to it's reputation as floriferous.

Once established, this anemone is particularly floriferous and clumps will not need dividing for some years. When division is necessary or desirable, the plant should be lifted and divided in the spring. Propagation can also be done by root cuttings.

displays flowers on long, graceful stems.

Crystalline white sepals surround yellow stamens on stems 3-4' tall, although it is not unusual for topmost flowers to bloom 5' or more above ground level. Hardy at least to the warmer area of zone 5, Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' is generally slow to establish in the garden, but don't give up, the end result is well worth a little patience.

Chapel (Bullard) Garden.

Honorine Jobert Japanese Anemone will grow best in well-drained soil amended with organic matter. Partial shade is preferred, but I have seen plants growing in Western Massachusetts in siturations from full sun to almost full shade with good results. The Chapel (Bullard) Garden has established plants of Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert'.
