Helleborus Winter Magic™ Snow Love

The perfect evergreen, deer proof perennial for dry shade

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. One of the great harbingers of spring, Snow Love's vigorous clumps continue to increase and become more floriferous every year making this the perfect evergreen, deer proof perennial for dry shade.
