Description / Helleborus Frostkiss® Molly's White Hellebore
Helleborus Frostkiss® Molly's White Hellebore is a stunning evergreen perennial that promises year-round appeal. With prolific blooms from late winter to mid-spring, this elegant plant showcases pristine white flowers on robust stems, complemented by lush moss green leaves adorned with silvery white veins. These long-lasting, nodding to outward-facing flowers not only brighten your garden but also make charming additions to your kitchen table bouquets or cut floral arrangements. Plus, they provide a vital early food source for emerging pollinators due to their nectar-rich blooms.
This Helleborus hybrid, also known as Lenten rose or hellebore, boasts vigorous growth and a well-branched, bushy habit. For the best visual impact, consider planting it in clusters in your garden beds, borders, or patio pots. Additionally, Molly's White Hellebore can serve as an attractive ground cover, gradually spreading through its rhizomatous roots without becoming invasive. It's a perfect choice for underplanting high-branched deciduous trees or large shrubs, offering protection from harsh winter winds.
Not only is this plant cold-hardy and low-maintenance, but it's also adaptable to various soil types, including chalk, clay, and loam, and can thrive in diverse conditions. While it prefers dappled shade with organically rich, well-draining soil and a neutral to alkaline pH, it can grow well in most soil types. Once established, it's drought-tolerant, though it doesn't tolerate waterlogged soils. The good news is, it's resistant to deer and rabbits. In regions with mild summers, Helleborus Frostkiss® Molly's White Hellebore even thrives in full sun, as long as its roots remain cool.
