Helleborus niger

     Christmas Rose

Helleborus niger is a low-growing perennial that typically reaches a height of 8 to 12 inches (20-30 cm). Its deep green, leathery, leaves create an attractive backdrop for the star of the show – the striking, cup-shaped flowers. Blooms appear in late winter to early spring, defying the cold with their delicate white petals and contrasting yellow stamens.
