Description: Helleborus ‘Winter Ballet Lisann’ is a stunning evergreen perennial, prized for its elegant, pure white flowers that bloom from mid-winter to early spring. Part of the Winter Ballet series, this variety features outward-facing, cup-shaped blooms that create a striking contrast against its glossy, deep green foliage. As the flowers mature, they may develop a subtle hint of green, adding to their charm. Winter Ballet Lisann thrives in well-drained soil and shaded conditions, making it perfect for Melbourne gardens. Its frost-hardy and low-maintenance nature makes it ideal for garden beds, woodland plantings, and container displays, providing a bright focal point when most other plants remain dormant.
