Helleborus x nigercors HGC 'Green Corsican' | Green Corsican Christmas Rose

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Helleborus x nigercors HGC ‘Green Corsican’ is an evergreen perennial forming clumps of leathery dark green leaves. In late winter, sturdy stems rise above the foliage with large single flowers that open creamy white and soon take on a soft green tint around a ring of pale yellow stamens. Blooms are outward-facing to gently nodding and appear from late winter into early spring, often January through March.

This hellebore is a selected hybrid between Helleborus niger and Helleborus argutifolius, developed in Germany as part of the Helleborus Gold Collection. Clonal propagation maintains its flower color, generous bud set, and dense evergreen habit, making it well suited to woodland borders, shaded beds, and containers near paths or patios.
