About this plant

Helleborus × glandorfensis HGC 'Ice N' Roses White' is an evergreen perennial that brings brightness to the winter garden with its long-lasting blooms. Flowering from December through April, it produces large, creamy white flowers that stand out against the deep green foliage. As the blooms mature, they develop a soft green tint, creating a subtle color shift over time. With its early and extended flowering season, this hellebore provides months of interest when little else is in bloom.

A notable characteristic of 'Ice N' Roses White' is its vigorous growth habit and ease of care, making it suitable for both garden beds and winter plantings in large containers. Its adaptability to various light conditions, thriving in both sunny spots and partial shade, sets it apart from other cultivars. This variety is also disease-resistant, ensuring a long-lasting and low-maintenance addition to any garden.

Design tip

Winter interest is the reason to grow it, so keep it near an entry where the bloom is noticed. Keep it out of hot afternoon sun and layer it with woodland companions for a full, settled look.
