Helleborus niger ssp. macranthus (Christmas Rose)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 3-9 12" tall Origin: Europe

Open House/Web-Only! New crop available 3-4-2010 (syn: H. niger 'Maximus') This subspecies of the Christmas rose from Italy and northern Yugoslavia (what little is left) is distinguished from the typical H. niger in that it grows a bit taller (1' tall) and has more blue-green foliage. The slightly larger pure-white flowers also change to pink as they age, creating a very dramatic statement in the garden! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
