Common Name:
Hellebore 'Charmer'
Description:
Hellebore FROSTKISS® 'Charmer' is a premium evergreen perennial grown for its exceptional foliage and long-lasting floral display during the cooler months. Part of the renowned FROSTKISS® series, this variety produces outward-facing flowers in soft creamy white to blush pink tones with attractive burgundy speckling and ageing to deeper pink as the blooms mature. The flowers are held well above striking marbled foliage, which features silver veining and remains highly ornamental throughout the year. Flowering from winter into spring, 'Charmer' brings valuable colour to shaded garden beds, woodland gardens, borders and decorative containers when few other plants are in bloom. It thrives in Melbourne's climate when planted in well-drained, humus-rich soil in a sheltered position with protection from harsh afternoon sun. Once established, it is relatively low maintenance, drought tolerant, and provides excellent year-round garden interest.
