Helleborus Winter Ballet Katie

Common Name:
Winter Ballet Katie Hellebore

Description:
Helleborus ‘Winter Ballet Katie’ is a beautiful evergreen perennial, valued for its delicate, nodding pale pink flowers that appear from mid-winter to early spring. A standout in the Winter Ballet series, this variety features soft pink blooms that may deepen in colour as they mature, creating a stunning contrast against its glossy, deep green foliage. Hardy and low-maintenance, Winter Ballet Katie thrives in well-drained soils and shaded conditions, making it perfect for Melbourne gardens. Its long-lasting flowers bring much-needed winter interest to garden beds, borders, and containers, while its ability to withstand frost and resist deer and rabbits makes it an easy-care addition to cool-climate landscapes.
