Helleborus foetidus 'Leather and Lace' started at Plant Delights Nursery as a couple of oddball seedlings we pulled out of our Helleborus foetidus 'Krenitsky' strain, and subsequently introduced as a strain in 2015. The dark, black-green foliage of what we subsequently named Helleborus 'Leather and Lace' is more deeply cut than any form of Helleborus foetidus we've ever grown. The 20" tall x 3' wide evergreen clumps are topped with the typical 10" tall candelabra-like terminal sprays of large green bells in winter. As with all Helleborus foetidus, well-draining soils is the key to success.
