Hellebore ‘FROSTKISS® Tutu’

Common Name:
Frostkiss Tutu Hellebore

Description:
Hellebore ‘FROSTKISS® Tutu’ is a beautifully ruffled, evergreen perennial known for its distinctive double blooms and striking marbled foliage. A standout in the FROSTKISS® collection, ‘Tutu’ features soft blush pink to pale rose flowers with layered petals that resemble a ballet tutu—elegant and refined. Flowering from late autumn through early spring, this variety brings gentle colour and structure to shaded garden spaces during the cooler months. Each bloom is held above a neat clump of dark green, silver-marbled leaves, which provide year-round interest. Perfectly suited to Melbourne gardens, it thrives in part to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, underplantings, or decorative winter pots. Hardy, low maintenance and long-lasting, ‘Tutu’ is also frost tolerant, deer resistant, and an excellent winter nectar source for pollinators.
