This evergreen, tough, and reliable perennial is sturdy, adaptable, and long blooming. The classic hellebore foliage gives winter interest, and makes an excellent backdrop for the light pink, gently nodding flowers. Blooms from late winter into the spring. Grows best when planted in evenly moist, humus rich soil, in light to full shade. Harmful if eaten, and a skin irritant. Zone 4-9.
