Helleborus hybridus White

Originating from northwest Turkey to the Caucasus and northeastern Greece, the White Oriental Hellebore is a pure white perennial plant that will brighten up the shaded areas of your garden in winter. It is a hardy plant that can withstand temperatures down to -15°C (5°F) with palmate, slightly toothed, dark green and shiny, evergreen basal leaves, 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) long, composed of 7 to 9 leaflets.

The Oriental Hellebore reaches a height of 40 cm (16in) at maturity and spreads over 30 cm (12in). From January to March, a bouquet of single cup-shaped flowers form, measuring 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter. Hellebore is a bushy plant which does not like to be moved once established, with young plants taking some time to bloom.

This toxic plant should be handled with care. It is suitable as cut flowers and in flowerbeds, borders or planters. Over time, Hellebore flowers do not wilt like the majority of other flowers, but rather dry up.

Each seed-sown Hellebore has a unique flower colour: thus slight colour variations may exist between two plants, which is normal and inevitable. However, if the difference is too significant and distorts the desired effect, we will refund or replace the affected plant.
