The WALBERTON’S® Ivory Prince hellebore (Helleborus x hybridus WALBERTON’S® Ivory Prince) is a remarkable flowering perennial that will bring a touch of light and elegance to your winter garden. This hybrid variety is distinguished by its large, cup-shaped flowers in a luminous ivory white, sometimes slightly veined with soft pink, which illuminate the dormant landscape.

Exceptional Features:

  • Bloom: The WALBERTON’S® Ivory Prince hellebore blooms from late winter to early spring, among the first flowers to brave the cold, announcing the arrival of warmer days.
  • Luminous Cup-Shaped Flowers: The large, cup-shaped flowers in a luminous ivory white, sometimes slightly veined with soft pink, measure 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter (5 to 6 cm) and offer a delicate and refined spectacle.
  • Evergreen Foliage: This perennial retains its deep green, glossy foliage throughout the year, adding a touch of greenery even during the coldest months.
  • Increased Hardiness: The WALBERTON’S® Ivory Prince hellebore is hardy to zone 4, which means it can withstand winter temperatures down to -34°C.
  • Long Lifespan: This perennial can live for several years, offering long-lasting beauty to your winter garden.

Growing Information for Optimal Bloom:

  • Soil: The WALBERTON’S® Ivory Prince hellebore prefers rich, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil. It also tolerates neutral soils.
  • Light: This perennial thrives in shade or partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.
  • Watering: Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer in spring or fall to promote abundant blooms.
  • Division: Dividing the plant every 3 to 5 years helps keep it healthy and encourages continued blooming.
