Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

‘Honorine Jobert’ has been grown in gardens for well over a century and is still popular for its tall, airy stems that bring white flowers into late‑season borders.

Anemone × hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’ is a classic Japanese anemone prized for elegant, semi‑double white flowers on tall, wiry stems from late summer into autumn. The clear white blooms brighten borders and work beautifully in twilight gardens. Each flower has a bright boss of yellow stamens for contrast.

Plant in full sun or partial shade in soil that remains moist but drains well. It’s happiest in richer ground and is well suited to the back of a border, where it can rise through neighbouring perennials and shrubs. It’s a good choice for brightening slightly shaded borders and underplanting shrubs.

As it settles in, it forms a clump and may gradually spread, so give it room and avoid disturbing it unnecessarily. The flowers are excellent for cutting, and the foliage stays attractive for much of the season. Try pairing with ferns, hostas and grasses for a calm, natural look.

Mulch annually with compost and water during dry spells to encourage plenty of blooms. In exposed sites, neighbouring plants often provide enough support, but discreet staking is helpful in windy positions. A spring mulch also helps keep roots cool, especially in sunnier gardens.

Cut stems back in late autumn, or leave them for winter structure and tidy up in spring. A timeless, award‑winning plant for late‑season colour. Given time, it can become a generous clump with a long run of blooms.

Where to Plant:

Plant in sun or partial shade in rich, moisture‑retentive but well‑drained soil. It works well at the back of a border where its stems can weave through neighbouring plants.

How to Plant:

Set the crown level with the soil surface and water in thoroughly. Allow 60cm between plants so the clump can develop without crowding.

Aftercare:

Mulch in spring and water in dry weather for best flowering. Cut back spent stems in late autumn. If clumps become large, divide in spring and replant promptly.
