Common name: Hellebore 'Molly's White'

Description: This pristine white-flowered hellebore from the renowned Rodney Davey Marbled Group offers exceptional purity and elegance for the winter garden. The large, outward-facing flowers appear from late winter through to mid-spring in clean white shades, sometimes with very subtle green or pink tints in cool weather. Each bloom features prominent golden stamens that provide beautiful contrast against the white petals. The flowers have excellent substance and weather resistance, maintaining their fresh appearance even in challenging conditions. The blooms are set against attractive evergreen foliage with silvery marbling that enhances the plant's ornamental value year-round. This is a vigorous and reliable selection that produces abundant flowers and increases steadily. The pure white colouration makes this invaluable for white gardens, illuminating dark corners, or creating elegant winter displays in shaded areas.
