Bear's foot hellebore, Stinking hellobore.
March
- Greenish White
COMMENTS:
A beautiful evergreen
with self-colored blooms which hold great interest
throughout the summer. As with most hellebores, it
requires summer shade, and a rich, acid, constantly
moist yet well-drained soil mulched each spring
with a layer of leaf mold. Will require a couple of
seasons to establish and in the right soil, the
third year will surprise you with many seedlings
sprouting up around the mother plant. After the
second season, the mother plant turns black and
dies leaving many sizeable new starters in its
place.
