Helleborus argutifolius.
Hellebore are distinctive hardy perennials which flower in late winter through to mid spring.
Bowl-shaped, pendent, pale green flowers hang above leathery, prickly-edged, sea-green leaves from January to May. This popular evergreen makes an architectural statement in the middle of a mixed or shrub border. The handsome foliage is a long-lasting source of interest after the flowers have passed.
