Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This unusual new introduction from the Helleborus Gold Collection is still being trialled and, as yet, hasn't been given a name other than the desciptor "silver foliage". It seems to be a sternii cross with matte silver foliage and small cupped green flowers. We like it because it is unique and would be useful in sunny spots. As with all stemmed hellebores plant in more sun than the hybridus types. Deer resistant.
