Anemone 'Honorine Jobert' — the Best Late-Season Perennial for Denver
Pure-white, four-inch blooms from late summer into autumn — a shade-tolerant perennial that thrives in Denver landscapes.
If there's one perennial that consistently earns its keep in Denver landscapes from August through October, it's Anemone × hybrida 'Honorine Jobert'. Tall, elegant, pure-white blooms carried on wiry stems above deep-green foliage — it's the kind of plant that quietly steals the show at exactly the moment most gardens are winding down.
'Honorine Jobert' prefers part shade to filtered sun and consistently moist, well-drained soil. It's slow to establish but rewards patience with a dependable late-season display for decades. We use it as a foundation planting on the north and east sides of homes, where morning sun and afternoon shade suit it perfectly.
Pair it with hostas, ferns, astilbe, and hakone grass for a shade planting that reads calm and formal but bursts into bloom just as summer color fades. In a Denver landscape, that late-season extension of the display is priceless.
