Helleborus 'Snow White' (Snow White Hybrid Lenten Rose)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 4-8 15" tall Origin: Hybrid

(aka: H. 'Snow Bunting') We were provided with incorrect information about this plant, but here is the real scoop. This is the first hybrid of H. x hybridus x H. niger (a previously assumed impossible cross) that appeared as a seedling among H. x hybridus at the Yokohama garden in Japan. The foliage is intermediate between the two plants, and the clumps are topped in late winter with flat white flowers that age to a reddish-pink in cool weather. This very vigorous clump has proven to be quite impressive and has thrived in hot climates where H. niger is just a composted memory. These sterile plants are propagated by tissue culture. (Yes, plant cloning is legal in all parts of the country except Lynchburg, VA.) Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
