About this plant
Anemone × hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' is a stunning, award-winning perennial that produces delicate yet striking white flowers on tall, wiry stems. Blooming from late summer to early autumn, it provides a fresh burst of colour when many other plants are fading. Its deeply divided, dark green foliage forms a dense clump that serves as an attractive backdrop to the luminous flowers. A perfect choice for mixed borders, woodland gardens, and cottage-style planting, this Japanese anemone thrives in partial shade and well-drained, moisture-retentive soil. Highly resilient, it is deer-resistant and a favourite among bees and late-season pollinators.
