Helleborus niger Snow Sparkle
£20.00
notes
A taller variety of Christmas Rose, Helleborus niger Snow Sparkle bears pure white flowers against yellow stamens, which are held elegantly aloft the green foliage, providing a striking display for container or border planting. With 30-50 blooms per plant, this is a great plant for lighting up dull areas of the garden during winter, which suits their desire for a position in semi shade. Unlike a lot of hellebores, Helleborus niger Snow Sparkle has forward facing flowers for maximum interest.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 3L
- Eventual Height: 50cm (1ft 7in) x 50cm (1ft 7in)

Insights
All hellebores have been carefully bred from the Christmas or Lenten Roses (Helleborus niger), to produce exceptionally robust varieties that flourish in our climate. The beautifully marked ‘petals’ are sepals (the petals modified to become nectaries), which is why the flowers last for so long.
