The pure white single flowers of Helleborus White Pearl sparkle in the spring garden. Some plants may have a red central flare or light red speckling. There is also a high proportion of anemone-centred flowers in this strain. This gorgeous hellebore strain comes from the Winter Jewels Series bred by Marietta O'Byrne, one of the best hellebore breeders in the world. Beautiful in their own right, white and light coloured hellebores are perfect companions to help show off the deep purple, red and black flowered plants against the dark spring soil. Deer resistant. Perennial Plant of the Year 2005.

'White Pearl 'is a strain from the Winter Thrillers Series of Hellebores from Ernie and Marietta O'Byrne, displaying variations of a semi double white petals accented with deep wine, some with picotee edges, to accents around the central stamens. There is some variation plant to plant but all have their own unique charm. Grow Hellebores in a well drained but evenly moist soil in part shade where they can be enjoyed for their late winter early spring beauty.
