Description
Helleborus Walberton's Rosemary ('Walhero'PBR)
Height x Spread: 35cm x 60cm
Bred by David Tristram of Walberton's Nursery, this is a relatively new hybrid cross of H. niger and H. x hybridus. H.'Walberton's Rosemary' is a sterile Hellebore producing masses of outward facing flowers from December until the arrival of spring. These stunning dusty pink flowers stand above the deep green leaves.
'Walberton's Rosemary' prefers a sheltered spot in partial shade with a humus-rich soil. Perfect for woodland gardens, under-planting of trees and shrubs and for flower beds and borders. Remove the old leaves in late autumn to see the flowers as they emerge and to reduce the risk of any fungal disease.
