Anemone × hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' problems — and how to fix them
Anemone × hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' (Anemone × hybrida 'Honorine Jobert') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Slow to establish
Often sulks and barely flowers in its first year or two, then suddenly accelerates. Resist moving or dividing it; give it time and steady moisture to settle in.
Drought scorch
Leaf margins brown and crisp when the soil dries out, particularly in young plants. Mulch in spring and water through dry spells to prevent it.
Spreads vigorously
Established clumps run by rhizomes and can colonise more ground than expected. Site where it can spread, or contain the roots and remove stray runners each spring.
Flops in rich or shady sites
Over-fed or under-lit plants produce tall, weak stems that lean. Give adequate light, avoid nitrogen-heavy feeding and provide discreet support if needed.
