Helleborus x sternii

Helleborus x sternii  is a seed strain of the Helleborus argutifolius x Helleborus lividus hybrid, known as Helleborus x sternii. There are several named forms. The tall upright stalks retains the compact habit, attractively marked grey-silver leaves, and purple-pink suffusion of its Helleborus lividus parent while inheriting some of the hardiness and vigor of Helleborus argutifolius. The clumps are topped with clusters of greenish-pink flowers in early winter...a neat specimen hellebore.
