Helleborus foetidus, commonly known as the stinking hellebore, is a hardy evergreen perennial that provides structure and winter colour in the garden. From late winter into early spring, it produces clusters of nodding, bell-shaped flowers in fresh green, often edged with a hint of purple-red. The finely divided, dark green foliage is attractive year-round and adds a delicate texture to borders and woodland-style plantings. Despite its name, this hellebore has striking ornamental value and is especially useful for shady spots, where it will thrive with very little care.

• Clusters of nodding, lime-green flowers from late winter to early spring

Height and spread: Approximately 60 cm x 45 cm

This perennial is semi-evergreen, this means that it may lose some or all of its leaves in the winter if it is in a particularly colder region or a more exposed garden. Fresh new growth will appear in the spring. Cut the old leaves down to the ground in Jan/Feb as this will help prevent Hellebore leaf spot.
Hellebores can be harmful to pets and humans
