(syn: Helleborus niger 'Maximus') This deer-resistant subspecies of the Christmas rose from Italy and the former northern Yugoslavia (what little is left) is distinguished from the typical Helleborus niger in that it grows a bit taller (1' tall) and has more blue-green foliage, often highlighted with silvery white veins. The slightly larger pure white flowers that emerge in December change to pink as they age, creating a very dramatic statement in the garden! Our strain of Helleborus niger ssp. macranthus has been a superbly vigorous performer in our gardens.
