Symbivit (arbuscular)Anemone
Japanese anemone and its hybrids are late flowering perennials, commonly grown for late summer and autumn display of flowers. There are many varieties offering white, light pink, dark pink, and even purple pink flowers atop stems of various heights. They are mostly considered shade loving plants, however, if grown in good, evenly moist soil they can thrive in full sun, too, especially white flowering plants which are less demanding for soil moisture. Anemone x hybrida is a garden cross between a. japonica and a. vitifolia.
Honorine Jobert is a late variety of Japanese anemone. It produces 2-3 cm wide snow-white flowers with deep yellow centres of stamens from end August until the last warm days of autumn. The stalks are about 1 meter tall, well-branched. Basal leaves are deciduous, palmate, mid green, sharply toothed, sparsely hairy beneath.

Japanese anemones like moist, humus-rich, slightly acidic, and well-drained soil. When planted in full sun and if you live in area with cold winters make sure the plants are well mulched to keep the roots cool and away from dry frost. They prefer slightly drier conditions before flowering in early summer, as well as in winter. Anemones spread with aerial shoots which root easily so if you want to keep them in one place remove those shoots as and when they appear. Hardy to min. -29 °C (USDA zone 5).
