Helleborus Snowbells

Commonly called the Christmas rose, Helleborus ‘Snowbells’ blooms around Christmas time in warmer climates, up to a month earlier than other hellebores. It features rose-like semi-double blooms with white petals and full yellow centers, a nice addition to holiday combination containers with evergreens. The flowers are rather large, reaching 3 inches, and are side facing, unique among hellebores, which are usually downward facing.

When planted in large groups, Helleborus ‘Snowbells’, a hellebore, is exquisitely showy, although it won’t reach its full bloom potential until the second or third year.

A vigorous perennial, both salt and drought tolerant, Helleborus ‘Snowbells’ grows easily in a wide range of climates and will slowly spread over time. Its dark evergreen foliage makes it an attractive ground cover with year-round appeal.
