Helleborus × hybridus ‘Swirling Skirts’


Lenten Rose

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.256.790


The Lenten Rose is an easy spring blooming perennial for the shady woodland garden. Plants produce bushy mounds of thick, leathery evergreen leaves. Flower stalks appear in early spring, bearing showy cup-shaped blooms. This unusual selection has double white blooms flushed with green in the centre, and delicately spotted with purple. Site these where they will stay for many years, since the plants resent being disturbed. Trim the old leaves to the ground in late winter before the buds emerge, to allow the flowers maximum impact. Bred and introduced by Cor Stoffels of the Netherlands. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten/Skin irritant.
