Helleborus × nigercors ‘White Beauty’
Hybrid Hellebore |
USDA Zone: 6-9 |
Plant number: 1.256.770
An interesting hybrid variety of Hellebore, selected in Europe. This forms a low evergreen clump of dark-green leaves mottled with silver. In late winter and early spring stems rise taller, bearing big cup-shaped blooms of pure white, tinged with green. Prune off any ugly leaves in spring, otherwise just leave this alone. Plants can only be increased true-to-form by careful division after blooming, best done as seldom as possible since this resents being disturbed. A hybrid of H. niger × H. argutifolius. Not yet widely tested, possibly hardy to Zone 5 or colder. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten/Skin irritant.
