Commonly referred to as a Lenten Rose, although not a real rose, this evergreen clump forming perennial is perfect for that hard to fill shady spot in your garden. In winter it has attractive sprays of white, pink or plum flowers that nestle on top of the lush green foliage. It's cut leaf looks great with other bold foliaged plants e.g. Maples and Wind Anenomes. Mass plant for a great effect.

These Helleborus x hybridus are classified as such, as the majority of garden varieties are cultivars of Helleborus orientalis.
