IVORY PRINCE HELLEBORUS 1gal

If you’re looking to wake up your garden while the rest of the neighborhood is still tucked away in winter dormancy, Ivory Prince Helleborus is your royal solution. This "Lenten Rose" is a true garden workhorse, standing about 12 to 15 inches tall and wide with exquisite, leathery blue-green foliage that stays evergreen even in the chilly months. Starting in late winter, you’ll see those elegant, upward-facing ivory buds open into creamy white blooms that age gracefully into a vintage rose-pink. I always suggest planting these in a spot with partial to full shade—think under the canopy of a large oak or on the north side of your home—where they can avoid the harshest afternoon sun. Perhaps the best part for us mountain gardeners? Hellebores are virtually bulletproof against deer and rabbits because their leaves contain natural alkaloid compounds that critters simply won't touch. It’s a sophisticated, long-lived perennial that brings elegance to the shadows.
