Hardy & Low-Maintenance – Fully hardy in the UK, ‘Honorine Jobert’ thrives with minimal care and returns year after year.
Long-Lived & Spreading – Forms attractive clumps of deep green foliage, slowly naturalising and filling gaps in the garden.
Planting & Care Guide
Position – Prefers full sun to partial shade, making it highly versatile for borders, woodland gardens, and mixed plantings.
Soil – Best in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It adapts to most soil types but dislikes very dry or waterlogged conditions.
Watering – Water regularly when newly planted. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from consistent moisture.
Maintenance:
- Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and keep plants looking tidy.
- Cut back stems in late autumn after flowering for a neat winter garden.
- Mulch in winter to protect young plants and encourage strong growth in spring.
- Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigour and prevent overcrowding.
Perfect Plant Combinations
Anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’ pairs beautifully with other late-season perennials such as Asters, Sedum, and Rudbeckia, creating a striking autumn display. It also works well alongside ornamental grasses like Stipa or Miscanthus, where its delicate blooms contrast with the soft, flowing textures. For a romantic, cottage-garden look, combine with Echinacea, Salvia, and Verbena bonariensis, or plant beneath shrubs like Hydrangea for a layered, elegant effect.
