Prized for its exceptional flowering, Helleborus x nigercors ‘Honeyhill Joy’ (Hellebore) is a gorgeous Lenten Rose with large, outfacing, cream-centered, white flowers adorned with showy golden-yellow stamens. Blooming for 2 months in late winter and early spring, the blossoms contrast nicely with the shiny, blue-tinged foliage. A very desirable Hellebore that is tough, weather-resistant, very floriferous, and perfect to brighten the shade garden!

  • Grows in a bushy, upright clump, up to 18-28 in. tall (45-70 cm) and 24 in. wide (60 cm). This perennial will self-seed in satisfactory growing conditions.
  • Performs best in partial shade to full shade in fertile, humus-rich, moist, neutral to alkaline, well-drained soils. Avoid soils prone to drying out or staying wet.
