Description
Hellebore Silvermoon is a hybrid originating from Helleborus niger (Christmas Rose) and Helleborus argutifolius (Corsican Hellebore). From January to March, large white flowers appear, which later turn a delightful pink, 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4in) in diameter. Hellebore has a bushy habit.
This Hellebore is hardy down to -20°C (-4°F). It has winter interest. One of its main advantages is its long flowering period. It is ideal for cut flowers. It also provides good ground cover. It pairs well with ferns or Iris foetidissima, lamium maculatum 'Beacon Silver', and Erythronium. It is a toxic flower.
It is a robust plant which is not too tall (30 cm (12in) in height) with exceptionally beautiful silver-green, evergreen and tough foliage. Its basal leaves (palmate with slightly dissected lobes) measure from 10 to 30 cm (4 to 12in) long. It is a sterile hybrid, and vegetative propagation is very difficult.

Planting and care
Hellebore Silver Moon likes rich, rather heavy and well-worked soils. Plant it in partial shade in neutral to alkaline, fertile and humus-bearing soil that is also moist, and incorporate good compost to help it establish. Hellebore does not like stagnant water as it may cause rotting. Planting it under the dappled shade of large leafy trees is ideal. They are easy-going plants but should not be stressed. These perennials have a reputation for being homebodies: once well-established, they do not like to be transplanted. Young plants may take 2 to 3 years, sometimes more, before flowering then there will be no more problems. Over the weeks, their colour darkens but they do not wilt like most flowers, they dry up instead.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
