Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Anemone
'Honorine Jobert'
Japanese anemone
Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' is one of those late-season perennials that quietly earns its place, returning each year with poise and reliability. Forming an elegant, upright clump, this white Japanese anemone reaches around 1.2 metres in height, its mid-green, three-lobed leaves creating a softly textured base through spring and early summer. As the season matures, Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' sends up slender, wiry stems topped with generous, semi-double flowers of the purest white. The outer petals overlap neatly, while the narrower inner petals frame a bright cluster of yellow stamens, catching the light and lifting shaded corners with ease. Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit, Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' is as dependable as it is beautiful, thriving in sun or partial shade with minimal fuss.
Flowering from summer well into autumn, Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' brings movement and freshness just as many borders begin to fade. The blooms hover above surrounding plants, making it ideal for weaving through ornamental grasses, late-flowering salvias or woodland-style planting schemes. Despite its refined appearance, Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' is robust and long-lived, gradually expanding into a generous clump without becoming unruly. It performs particularly well in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil, rewarding gardeners with an ever more impressive display year after year. Whether used to brighten a shaded edge or soften a sunny border, Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' offers a calm, luminous presence that feels both classic and quietly contemporary.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
