Helleborus foetidus Wester Flisk Strain

Bluish green leaves sometimes with red highlights, red flower stalks and red-edged flowers as compared with the normal species which is lovely but mostly just green.

A special selection with attractive reddish-green stems, bluish green leaves and red flower stalks. Finely dissected finger-like evergreen foliage. Strikingly beautiful in the winter cold and in spring when the chartreuse to light green, red-tinged, nodding flowers open. Deer resistant.
