Honorine Jobert Japanese Anemone

Anemone x hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’ · a white Japanese anemone

A graceful perennial with pure white, satiny flowers on tall, swaying stems from late summer into fall, an award winner that deer and rabbits leave alone. It's happiest in part shade and rich, steadily moist soil. Dry or soggy ground and wind are its downfall, and it spreads by creeping roots.
