We are particularly excited to finally release plants of the variegated foliage Helleborus niger clone, discovered in the UK by Art Lashford. In this seed strain the typically dark green leaves are randomly streaked with cream, which varies from leaf to leaf. So far, it seems that the plants become more streaked with age. Starting around Christmas, the clumps are topped with the typical stalks of lovely out-facing white flowers, but this gem is primarily grown for the amazing foliage.
