We were just talking today about these particular plants and I said, "These are the perfect perennial!" Check out some of the traits of this plant:
- Winter hardy
- Evergreen foliage
- Deer resistant
- Very early Spring bloom
- Groovy seed pods
What plants am I referring to, you might ask? Helleborus x ericsmithii. These are hybrids from a famous English breeder from Hadspen Garden. YUP, you guessed it, Eric Smith. We find here at Mohonk that the foliage really holds up all winter and this hybrid has a particularly long bloom season. What a pleasure to find the white flowers jumping out of the leaf litter on a rainy, cold spring day. Hope you enjoy them too, our perfect perennial.
