Helleborus Wedding Party Mix
Best early-blooming perennial for gardeners managing deer-prone woodland landscapes.
The Helleborus Wedding Party® Mix features double blossoms in a vibrant array of pink, yellow, black, white, and purple shades. These long-lived perennials are native to Europe and western Asia, providing exquisite blooms in late winter or early spring when few other flowers appear. They are excellent for woodland gardens and borders, offering architectural quality to shady spots. The plants are naturally resistant to deer and voles, thriving in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. You can cut the flowers to float indoors, bringing their early color inside. Plants ship as 1 pint containers, timed for spring planting.
