Helleborus niger 'Christmas Carol' is a stunning winter-blooming perennial that brings early-season colour with its pure white, cup-shaped flowers. These striking blooms emerge from dark green, leathery foliage, often starting to appear as early as Christmas, hence the name. Over time, the flowers mature to a soft pink hue, creating a beautiful contrast with the evergreen leaves. Preferring well-drained, moist soil and a shaded to partially shaded position, 'Christmas Carol' is perfect for woodland gardens, borders, or containers. Its early flowering period provides a welcome burst of brightness in the winter months, making it an excellent choice for adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinators in the colder seasons. With its elegant form and long-lasting blooms, 'Christmas Carol' is a cherished addition to any garden.
