Anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’ is a classic Japanese Anemone cultivar valued for its elegant, pure white flowers and long late-season bloom period. This herbaceous perennial typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall and forms upright, clump-forming colonies with dark green, deeply divided foliage. Blooming from late summer into fall, its single white flowers with golden yellow centers rise above the foliage on wiry stems, adding height and brightness to borders when many other perennials are fading. ‘Honorine Jobert’ thrives in part shade to full sun with consistently moist, well-drained soil and is well suited for mixed borders and cottage-style gardens.
