Helleborus x ericsmithii ‘Winter Moonbeam’
Helleborus 'Winter Moonbeam' has foliage emerging icy variegated aging to mint green veins on dark green leaves. Large white flowers with reflexed stamens like fluttering eyelashes!
Helleborus ‘Winter Moonbeam’ has some of the most spectacular foliage within the genus — blue-green leaves boldly adorned with dramatic, criss-crossing, silver veins combined with bright red petioles where the leaflets join. The clumps sport outfacing white flowers in spring which age to pink and then near red with stamens that look like big, reflexed eye lashes. A cross between H. lividus and H. niger from the UK’s Harveys Garden Plants. Easier to grow than either of its parents. This hybrid group can be planted in more sun than typical hellebores. Deer resistant.
