Plant description
Bright white flowers emerge in early spring, standing out against striking green foliage with marbled veining. As the season progresses, the leaves mature, developing reddish leaf stalks that enhance the plant’s visual appeal.
Helleborus × nigercors 'The Rockies Hollowtop Mountain' retains its ornamental value well beyond flowering, with blooms gradually fading to a soft creamy-rose hue. Vivid yellow anthers add contrast, creating a striking focal point in shaded borders and woodland gardens.
This hardy, deer-resistant hybrid thrives in dappled shade and moist, well-drained soil, making it a reliable, low-maintenance (once established) choice for year-round interest.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Helleborus × nigercors The Rockies Hollowtop Mountain:
Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot.
Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring.
