Helleborus x ericsmithii HGC 'Ivory Prince' | Ivory Prince Lenten Rose
DESCRIPTION
Helleborus × ericsmithii HGC 'Ivory Prince' is an evergreen perennial that blooms from late winter to mid-spring. Developed through a breeding program aimed at creating vigorous, compact, and upright hellebores, this cultivar features outward-facing, cup-shaped flowers that open from mauve-pink buds into creamy white blossoms. As the flowers mature, they acquire pink and chartreuse hues, adding depth to their appearance.
'Ivory Prince’ has glossy, dark green leaves with silvery veining, which provide an attractive backdrop to the blooms. Unlike many hellebores, the flowers of 'Ivory Prince' face outward, enhancing their visibility in the garden. Additionally, this cultivar was selected for its vigorous growth rate, uniform crop production, and compact, upright habit.
