Helleborus HGC 'Jasper'

Helleborus niger HGC 'Jasper', commonly known as the Christmas Rose, is a charming evergreen perennial popular for its early and prolonged winter bloom. The plant exhibits a neat, clumping habit, with lustrous, dark green foliage serving as a backdrop for its large, pristine white flowers. Recommended for hardiness in zones 3 to 8, 'Jasper' thrives in cool to moderate temperatures, preferring partially shaded locations to protect its delicate petals. The plant typically reaches a height of 12 to 15 inches, making it a perfect choice for border fronts or shaded ground cover. As a medium-weight perennial, it is noted for its deer resistance, offering vibrant winter blooms that are unlikely to become deer meals.
