Blooms for up to 5 months a year.
We are delighted to offer the Helleborus Royal Heritage™ Strain Hellebore to gardeners this season. A winter-to-spring blooming shade perennial that stands up to just about anything in the garden and offers beautiful flowers in many colors, this evergreen plant is one of the very best for borders, the foundation, or a woodland garden.
The product of decades of plant collection and breeding in Europe, Helleborus Royal Heritage™ Strain blooms in never-before-seen color combinations. Yellow, pink, white, green, red, purple, charcoal, and many combinations of multiple shadesthat's what you will get from the Helleborus Royal Heritage™ Strain. This is a strain, not a single variety, so you will see a marvelous variation in bloom size and form. There's simply nothing else out there to rival Royal Heritage™.
And these flowers are remarkably durable. On the plant they last for months, aging to a papery consistency that is fascinating in its own right. Cut them for indoor enjoyment and you can float them, face up, in a shallow bowl for several weeks. A terrific centerpiece for the winter table. And of course, the more Royal Heritage™ plants you order, the greater variety in flower color you will see.
Like all hellebores, Royal Heritage™ is able to withstand heat, humidity, cold, and even periods of drought without problem. Pests and diseases leave it alone. Hardy from zones 4 to 8, it tolerates clay soils and, once established, can thrive despite poor soil fertility. Who would ever imagine such delicate blooms could come from such a bone-hardy plant. Make Royal Heritage™ part of your landscape today.
