Helleborus x lividus ‘Pink Marble’

What can match a Hellebore for its combination of winter elegance & impressive durability? This cultivar’s richly marbled leaves in tones of green, pink, & silver give year-round interest to any shady spot, & is particularly charming in Winter, when flowering canes emerge with mauvey-pink & green flowers than nod downward to protect the plant’s pollen from wind & rain. Both leaves & flowers are supported by deep pink stems. 18” in height & spread, like all others in its genus it is tolerant of neglect, poor soil, & abuse, though compost & occasional water will make it grow bigger & better faster. The only natural predators of the Hellebore are slugs & snails, & these may be easily dispatched by a serving of Sluggo.
