Helleborus argutifolius

Product number: 590150
Origin: Mediterranean region
Latin: Helleborus argutifolius, also known as H. corsicus, H. lividus

Today, it's a chic cut flower, but for years it has been available as one of the strongest winter-flowering garden plants. The large, serrated leaves form the base, and from January to May, thick, 50cm tall flower stalks appear with large quantities of slightly nodding, green-white flowers. Give them a slightly shaded, humus-rich spot in the garden.
