Helleborus x ballardiae HGC 'Camelot' | Camelot Lenten Rose
DESCRIPTION
Helleborus x ballardiae HGC 'Camelot' is a charming evergreen perennial, celebrated for its mauve pink buds that open into creamy white flowers with a hint of blush. These elegant blooms appear in late winter to early spring, offering a long-lasting display during the colder months. As the flowers age, they take on a greenish hue, adding an evolving visual interest to the garden. The glossy, deep green foliage with a slightly serrated edge provides year-round texture and contrast.
Developed as part of the Helleborus Gold Collection® (HGC), 'Camelot' is the result of careful hybridization to enhance bloom longevity and garden performance. Originating from crosses involving Helleborus niger and Helleborus lividus, this hybrid combines the best traits of its parent species, making it an excellent choice for shaded garden beds or containers, where its refined blooms can be appreciated up close.
