Description
Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert'
Height x Spread: 100cm x 60cm
A very good and reliable old variety of autumn flowering Anemone, producing lots of elegant single white flowers.
As the tall blooms can hold themselves upright without needing to be staked, it is a great choice for the middle to back of a large border, where it will flower its socks off for a long period in autumn, giving lightness to mixed borders. It combines beautifully with purple foliage forms of Actaea. Very unfussy, they will grow in most garden conditions.

EURYBIA divaricata
