Anemone 'Honorine Jobert'

This plant thrives in partial shade. While it can tolerate some morning sun, it prefers protection from the harsh afternoon heat to keep its foliage and blooms looking their best.

Since this variety reaches a mature width of 18 inches, you should space them about 18 to 24 inches apart. This allows for proper air circulation and gives the mound-shaped foliage enough room to fill in naturally.

Yes, 'Honorine Jobert' is widely considered resistant to both deer and rabbits. While no plant is 100% immune if local wildlife is desperate, this variety is rarely a first choice for foraging animals.

It prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your garden soil is heavy clay or very sandy, amending it with compost before planting will help the roots establish more effectively.

After the late-season blooms fade, you can cut the stems back to the ground. The dark green foliage provides interest throughout the season, so you only need to clear away the dead growth once the plant goes dormant in late fall or early winter.
