Helleborus x ericsmithii 'Winter Moonbeam' (Winter Moonbeam Lenten Rose)
Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-8 12" tall Origin: Hybrid
From the UK's Harveys Garden Plants comes one of the most exciting hellebores we have grown. This H. x sternii x niger hybrid (we think it's actually a H. x ballardiae) makes a 12" tall x 18" wide clump of glaucous foliage, adorned with a dramatic silver-grey veinal netting (from the H. lividus parent) combined with bright red petioles where the leaflets join. The deer-resistant clumps are topped in early spring with outfacing white flowers that are held on a 45 degree angled stalk. The flowers age first to pink, then nearly red....a superb transition. We think you are going to love this easy-to-grow gem. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
