Helleborus niger Nell Lewis Strain (Christmas Rose)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 3-8 8" tall Origin: Europe

Web-Only! From the garden of Greensboro, NC, plantswoman Nell Lewis comes this extremely vigorous seed strain of the legendary Christmas rose, Helleborus niger. Perhaps the most amazing thing about this strain is that almost all of the seedlings flower the first year from seed...an unheard of trait in the genus Helleborus. From the large, glossy dark green leaves arise 8" tall stalks of large pure-white flowers beginning around January in NC. H. niger must have good drainage and dry soils. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
