Helleborus ‘HGC Diva’ at Digging Dog Nursery

Helleborus

Christmas Rose/Lenten Rose

Stories about this genus are countless. In medieval times, it was considered a weapon against witches, madness and evil spirits. Hellebores deserve a place in every garden, not only because of their supposed power, but because they bloom for a long time, early in winter, when the weather is cool and many plants are still dormant. Most like moist, loamy soil with lime and leaf mold. We like them as ground covers for deciduous shrubs, conifers, or broad-leafed evergreens, and when possible plant them in an elevated spot to admire their flowers.

This deluxe long-lived Heuger Hellebore earns her diva status as copious, extralarge and slightly cupped crisp-white blooms appear just after Thanksgiving. Donning subtly pink stigmas, the early outward-facing flowers unfurl from soft rose-imbued buds atop a shapely evergreen bed of stout stems plus thick palmate forest-green foliage that’s festooned with reddish leaf petioles. Whether in a woodland setting, prized patio container or cut floral centerpiece, ‘Diva’ guarantees both gusto and grace.

Blooms December–March

Size: 12" high x 18" wide.
