Helleborus Frostkiss® Molly's White Hellebore

The Helleborus Frostkiss® Molly's White Hellebore captivates with its year-round garden appeal, presenting a breathtaking display of elegant, clear white flowers from late winter and early spring to mid-spring. This evergreen perennial, known for its heavy and uniform blooming, features flowers perched on long, sturdy stems that rise above a basal rosette of moss green leaves adorned with silvery white veins. The beauty of Helleborus Molly's White lies not only in its nodding to outward-facing flowers, which endure beautifully over time, but also in their ability to create charming kitchen table bouquets or enhance cut floral arrangements. Rich in nectar, these white single blooms provide a crucial early food source for emerging bees, underlining the plant's ecological benefits.

As a vigorous Helleborus hybrid, often referred to as the Lenten rose or hellebore, Frostkiss Molly's White showcases a bushy, well-branched habit that excels when massed or grouped in garden beds, borders, or patio pots. It serves as an exquisite ground cover, gradually expanding through rhizomatous roots without the risk of invasion. The plant's ability to self-seed under optimal conditions adds to its charm, making it a splendid choice for planting beneath the shelter of high-branched deciduous tree or large shrubs, where it's safeguarded from harsh winter winds.

Helleborus Molly's White thrives in the dappled shade, preferring organically rich, moist, yet well-draining soil with a neutral to alkaline pH. It adapts well to a range of soil types, including chalk, clay, and loam, proving its versatility across various growing conditions. Once established, this white hellebore demonstrates drought tolerance, though it is adverse to excessively wet or waterlogged soils. It's also notably resistant to deer and rabbits.
