Notes
A striking hellebore offering winter colour with its profusion of large, upright cerise flowers, held on sturdy, tall stems above leathery dark green foliage. This evergreen perennial thrives in partly shaded areas, ideally planted under deciduous trees so that it has shelter from summer sun but still has light in winter.
