Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Helleborus niger HGC 'Jacob' has lightly fragrant, pure white blooms in profusion for months on end. It is the best cultivar for Christmas decorating in coastal BC where it blooms over a long period from the start of December until April. Hardy in colder climates to zone 3, it will bloom as soon as the snow melts. Flowers turn light green and pink with age. Dark green leaves with serrated edges have burgundy stems. The Helleborus Gold Collection brings magical new life to winter and early spring blooming hellebores. Grow in full to part sun, not shade.

Great for containers. 'HGC Jacob' is a selection of Christmas Rose by German breeder Heuger, noteworthy for an especially early bloom ...yes by December!...and a compact habit. It displays pure 2-3" white flowers on 6-8" stems above shiny dark green serrated foliage. The flowers age with pinkish tones.
