Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This plant boasts large flowers with ruffled, light green outer petals while the inner petals are white with faint purple spots. White hellebores can be extremely valuable to use in combination with darker coloured plants that would otherwise disappear against the dark late winter soil. Plant white hellebores behind the darker colours to achieve the optical trick of making the dark hellebore suddenly visible! Tissue culture. All plants identical. Deer resistant. Perennial Plant of the Year 2005.
