Helleborus x sternii 'Blackthorn' (Blackthorn Strain Lenten Rose)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7-8, at least 18" tall Origin: Hybrid

Open House/Web-Only! We are pleased to offer this exciting strain of hellebores, originally created by Robin and Sue White of England's Blackthorn Nursery with the idea of getting a more compact form of the often gangly H. sternii (H. lividus x H. argutifolius). These upright-growing, 18"-stalked hellebores have marbled, slaty blue-grey, three-sectioned serrated leaves. Atop the purple stems in mid-winter are clusters of pink flower buds that open to medium-sized pink and green flowers. It has been awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM) by the Royal Horticultural Society. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
