Honorine Jobert Windflower
Anemone × hybrida 'Honorine Jobert'Honorine Jobert Windflower (Anemone × hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’) is an elegant late-season perennial prized for its pure white, cup-shaped flowers, golden-yellow centers, and graceful upright habit. Beginning in late summer and continuing well into fall, masses of pristine blooms sway gently above dark green foliage on slender stems, bringing brightness to the garden when many other perennials have finished blooming. The flowers attract bees and butterflies while adding a light, airy appearance to borders and woodland gardens.
Its clump-forming habit makes Honorine Jobert an excellent choice for partially shaded borders, cottage gardens, woodland gardens, and mixed perennial plantings. The long stems create a graceful movement in the landscape and make exceptional cut flowers for fresh floral arrangements. Its crisp white blooms pair beautifully with ornamental grasses, hostas, and late-season flowering perennials.
Typically growing 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, Honorine Jobert thrives in partial sun and moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Once established, it forms slowly expanding clumps that provide reliable late-season color year after year. Consistent moisture helps promote the best flowering performance, especially during hot summer weather.
Care Instructions:
Planting: Plant in partial sun in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Protect from harsh afternoon sun in hotter climates.

Watering: Water regularly during establishment and keep soil evenly moist during periods of drought.

Pruning: Remove spent flowers to tidy the plant or leave them for seasonal interest. Cut stems back after frost or in late winter before new growth emerges.
Spacing: Space plants 24–36 inches apart to allow for mature growth and airflow.
Maintenance: Apply mulch annually to conserve moisture and divide clumps every few years if they become crowded.
Companion Plants: Hostas, Japanese Forest Grasses, and Autumn Ferns
