Product Description

Helleborus foetidus, called the stinking bear foot or bear paw hellebore, offers flowers in a pastel shade of green and has an unusual fragrance disliked by some; consequently it may be referred to as stinking. Hellebore plants are among the earliest perennial flowers to bloom, welcoming spring with their rose-like blossoms. ... In colder zones, hellebores will break through the frozen ground early in the spring. The foliage of the bear foot hellebore is segmented and serrated, sometimes turning to deep red in cold weather, when it is highly ornamental. Flowers may be edged in the deep red to burgundy color. This hellebore plant prefers more sun than its oriental counterparts.
