HGC® Merlin®

Helleborus x ballardiae

The HGC® Merlin® enchants us from January onward with its cream-coloured to soft pink flowers. As the flowers fade, they turn a deep dark red and remain attractive until late spring. The marbled leaf pattern makes this evergreen perennial a highlight not only in winter but also throughout the summer months.
