"The Himalayan maidenhair has become one of the great all-time ferns

The extremely large clumps of glossy green leaves that emerge blue-green in spring are topped with 5' tall stalks of light lavender flowers in June (NC)

coming into growth and bloom early in the year when it can make use of the sunlight before the canopy trees leaf out

Helleborus nigercors Honeyhill Joy Himalayan Mountains first distributed by Woodlanders NurseryFrom Audrey and Jim Metcalfe of Oregon's Honeyhill Farms comes a new selection of H. x nigercors (H. niger x argutifolius). This sterile hybrid produces very glossy leaves that resemble H. niger. The vigorous and easy to grow, 2' wide clump is topped in late winter with 12" stalks of outfacing creamy white flowers. It's only thanks to the persistence of the tissue culture labs that these are available at all.
