| Plant ID: | 511 |
| Latin Name: | Anenome Honorine Jobert |
| Common: | Honorine Jobert Windflower |
| Plant Type: | 10 |
| Height/Width: | 3-4ft x 20in |
| Sun Pref: | Full Sun to Half Sun/ Half Shade |
| Bloom Time: | Late Summer to Mid-Fall |
| Notes: | At 5ft or so, it is one of the tallest of the autumn anemones and its round, pink-washed buds and substantial chalice-shaped flowers, held on branching stems, make it by far the classiest. The best way to propagate these anemones is by root cuttings of the slender new roots, which bear new embryonic shoots along their length. Chop them up into small pieces and lay them on open compost with a layer of grit to hold them in place and keep them damp. If you want to establish anemones, pot-grown plants are your best bet and can be relieved of some good root-cutting material before they reach their intended homes. Often, when you turf out a pot-grown anemone, tiny new shoots with their own leaves are already visible along the roots. |
| Care: | Normal/Clay soil. Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' and its close relations are easy to grow in any reasonable soil, in sun or dappled shade. The pH of the soil seems to be irrelevant, although colonies on chalky soils sometimes develop chlorosis. When planting, incorporate good compost. Mulch the area immediately around them once they are established to give them a cool root-run. These are plants that make woody rootstocks and fine running roots through which they spread rapidly, establishing large communities and earning themselves a reputation for being invasive. Because of this, gardeners often dig them up and donate the woody rootstocks to others in an attempt to eliminate or at least curtail their spread. This practice tends to be unsuccessful on two scores: the original plant is often given a new lease of life and the gift often fails to get going because it is so old and woody. |
