Description

Helleborus × hybridus is a collective name for bred hybrids with white, pink and red flowers, created by crossing several wild hellebore species. It includes many beautiful varieties with large flowers in white, pink, purple, deep maroon, even yellow, as well as speckled ones. It is extremely popular in Western European gardens, but in our climate it may suffer frost damage in harsh winters. It grows 50–70 cm tall.
