Helleborus niger Christmas Carol

     Christmas Rose

Helleborus niger Christmas Carol is a favourite of many because the petals are round and broad, forming a large, showy flower. They are pure white with golden stamens and a ring of showy nectaries. Another likeable feature is the way the flowers look upwards, showing you their faces, something which is rather unusual in hellebores. A low-growing perennial that typically reaches a height of 8 to 12 inches (20-30 cm). Blooms appear in late winter to early spring, defying the cold with their delicate white petals and contrasting yellow stamens.
