A member of the Gold Collection®, Helleborus x nigercors 'HGC Green Corsican' is a very robust, semi-evergreen, clump-forming perennial with large, single, creamy white flowers adorned with crowns of showy golden-yellow stamens. As they mature, the blooms gradually turn fresh green as they wither. Unlike most hellebores, the flowers face outward attracting interest. They are borne on short stems and rise above the evergreen foliage of leathery, dark green, palm-like leaves. An early spring bloomer, with blooms appearing as early as February, 'HGC Green Corsican' results from a cross between two European species, Helleborus niger (Christmas Rose) and Helleborus argutifolius (Corsican Hellebore). A very desirable Hellebore that is tough, very floriferous, and perfect to brighten the shade garden!
