| A few weeks ago I posted on anemones blooming, but I misidentified the cultivars. Honorine Jobert is later blooming. The cultivar I have is probably Andrea Atkinson, which blooms about the same time as the double pink I have, which probably is Pamina, a shorter and more hardy cultivar than is Bressingham Glow (as I mistakenly identified the pink).
My anemones are about finished blooming now, but in a public park I found a spread of Honorine Jobert lavishly flowering here in the last week of October. Of course, a drawback to late flowering is that the weather is not always in the seventies, as it is here this week.
Honorine Jobert seems more sturdily upright than my earlier-blooming cultivar. Here were my anemones in September:
I wish I had room for a group of Honorine Jobert, but as someone noted, anemones are not team players and work best in a group of themselves. |

| I have seen these types of flowers in the neighborhood but I never knew what they were. These are not the kind of anemones that I am familiar with (anemone coronaria) Can I ask a silly question? What are these types of anemones called so I know what to look for in the garden center? Do you by them as tubers or plants? |

| They are called Japanese anemones or windflowers. They are plants that spread by creeping rhizomes, as opposed to anemone blanda or anemone coronaria, which grow from corms (or bulbs) and bloom in the spring. |
