Winter Hardy Perennial Plants
Helleborus orientalis (Lenten Rose)
Helleborus orientalis, commonly known as Lenten Rose, is a hardy perennial prized for its elegant winter and early spring blooms. Flowers appear in shades of white, pink, plum, and green, often with striking speckled centres, bringing colour when few other plants flower. Growing 40–60 cm tall, it thrives in partial shade and well-drained soil. Evergreen foliage adds year-round appeal, making it ideal for shaded borders, under trees, or as a feature plant in NZ gardens.

Chimonanthus praecox
The Chimonanthus praecox plant, commonly known as the Wintersweet tree, is a deciduous shrub grown for its winter flowering. During this time, it bears fragrant, bright yellow flowers throughout a mass of intertwining, bare branches. It typically grows to 2 m tall and the same wide, performing best when grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. Chimonanthus praecox is commonly used in mixed plantings, planted for winter colour, or grown anywhere the winter fragrance and colour can be enjoyed. Wintersweet makes for a popular and colourful addition to a garden.
