Helleborus Brandywine have leathery dark green foliage that makes a nearly evergreen groundcover for average to dry shade. Flowers come in a range of colors and in single or double varieties and can be held aloft foliage or nodding in form in late winter. The plant grows 12-15” tall and spreads 12-18” wide. It is one of the first bloomers in late winter and early spring with blooms lasting for months. Hellebores prefer lightly wooded areas on moist chalk or limestone soils. This plant will self-sow happily if placed in the right conditions. A wonderful plant for a dry shade garden that is also deer-resistant, Hellebores provides striking beauty when other plants are still buried beneath the snow. When the flowers are obscured by new leaves, the foliage provides a wonderful evergreen groundcover. For optimal performance, cut back flower stalks after bloom to encourage new foliage and trim back tattered leaves. All parts of the plant are poisonous.
