Our first plants of Helleborus foetidus were a wonderful form from the late Rachel Dunham of Cary, NC. In the first season the plants grow rapidly, forming a substantial, thick, 20" tall, green stalk adorned with dark green, serrated-edge, evergreen foliage. In late winter, clumps of Helleborus foetidus 'Dunham' are topped with a giant candelabra of green bells that would have made Liberace proud. Helleborus foetidus is a short-lived perennial, so allow it to seed in place, which it does quite well.
