Helleborus Shooting Star 180MM

Helleborus x ericsmithii Gold Collection® Shooting Star

I am Helleborus Shooting Star. My family originated from Alpine Europe.

Habit Shrub - Star Shaped Cream Flowers

Plant family Ranunculaceae

I am Shooting Star producing incredible mounds of small creamy white flowers with pink at the back from early winter to mid spring. I am a long lived, low maintenance evergreen perennial with leathery green leaves and a rounded form. I work well in shaded areas and a good choice as an underplanting below deciduous trees. Adaptable I am happy in pots and general container planting, a great way to brighten up a shaded balcony or paved area. Low maintenance I am tolerant of dry conditions and light frosts.

Caution: Harmful if eaten/skin irritant
