perennial helleborus
Perennial helleborus is a standout choice for New Zealand gardens, loved for its elegant winter and early spring blooms as well as its low maintenance requirements. Sometimes simply called hellebores or Lenten roses, these evergreen or semi-evergreen perennials add year-round colour and structure to lightly shaded areas. If you want to bring enduring beauty into your garden, perennial helleborus offers exquisite flowers in shades from pure white and soft pinks to deep burgundy and nearly black.
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.
