Hellebore ‘FROSTKISS® Vibey Velvet’

Common Name:
Frostkiss Vibey Velvet Hellebore

Description:
Hellebore ‘FROSTKISS® Vibey Velvet’ is a striking and dramatic evergreen perennial, known for its intensely rich, velvety crimson-purple flowers and beautifully marbled foliage. A standout selection in the FROSTKISS® series, it delivers bold winter and early spring colour when little else is in bloom. The large, outward-facing flowers appear on upright stems above clumps of deep green foliage veined with silver, providing texture and structure year-round. Perfectly suited to Melbourne’s climate, ‘Vibey Velvet’ thrives in part to full shade and performs best in moist, well-drained, compost-enriched soil. Its long blooming season, strong form, and low maintenance needs make it ideal for underplanting, woodland gardens, shaded borders, or elegant winter containers. Resistant to deer and lightly frost-tolerant, this is a sophisticated choice for gardeners wanting dramatic cool-season interest.
