This stunning cultivar of the already dramatic Corsican hellebore has beautiful icy silver-blue leaves. Lovely cup-shaped, apple-green flowers top the stems and foliage in early spring brightening even the gloomiest days of March. Use as a fantastic entrance-way focal point or plant it in view from a window to be enjoyed from the warm comfort of your house. Remember that the stemmed hellebores prefer more sun than the non-stemmed hybridus types. Deer resistant.

Leathery, lobed leaves cast in silver light up the shade on this tough evergreen perennial. ‘Silver Lace’ is an upstanding & popular Hellebore, making a large clump of striking palmed leaves that provide many textural & contrast possibilities to play with. One of the best perennials for dry shade, they can survive under Oak trees once established with no summer water, & additionally, deer don’t eat them! 2-3’ tall & eventually spanning 4’ wide, cup shaped chartreuse flowers appear in winter & their calyxes persist for months. Long lived, & hard to kill, they like rich soil & will grow faster if given average water. Bait for snails & slugs, which are practically the only thing that can make these enduring plants look worse for wear.
