Helleborus argutifolius, also known as Corsican hellebore, is a tough and attractive evergreen perennial that brightens shady areas with soft green blooms in winter. Its strong architectural form, leathery foliage, and resistance to pests make it ideal for low-maintenance NZ gardens.

Bergenia Snow Cloud (Heart Leaf Bergenia)
Bergenia Snow Cloud is an herbaceous perennial grown for its lush foliage and pretty flowers. The large and glossy, green leaves are wavy, arranged as a spiral rosette, and will often develop purple or bronze tones during the cooler months. The foliage is complemented with showy clusters of small, white flowers which take on pink tones as they age as it grows to about 60 cm tall and the same wide. Bergenia Snow Cloud is a very fashionable and hardy plant that is ideal for border planting or mass planting as a groundcover. It is often used in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container.
