Helleborus Winter Magic™ Double Fashion

A profusion of double white flowers

From the breeding brilliance of Belgian hellebore expert, Thierry van Paemel comes the Winter ™  Series.  These superior, incredibly floriferous selections make wonderful pot plants and permanent, deer proof, drought tolerant additions to any shady spot.  All selections are sturdy and vigorous with leathery evergreen leaves covered in a veil of beautiful  powder-grey.  Big, outfacing blooms are held well above the foliage, developing a greenish tinge as they mature.  Blooming will begin in the winter months in mild regions and last well into the warmer days of spring. Double Fashion is a clean, double, creamy white that fades to pale green.  It's the perfect plant for dry shade and the deer don't eat the leaves r the flowers, so you will certainly get months of enjoyment each year from this drought tolerant, nearly evergreen perennial.

Double white flowers bloom in profusion above leathery, dark olive green foliage. This new selection was chosen because it makes a large clump rather quickly both in a pot and in the garden.
