Helleborus foetidus 'Sopron'

Family: Ranunculaceae, Genus: Helleborus

Description:

Helleborus foetidus 'Sopron' is a perennial plant known for its narrow, metallic green-black foliage and larger bracts and flowers. It grows to a height of 18 to 24 inches and thrives in shade to part shade environments, particularly in USDA Zone 7. The plant has a unique life cycle where individual stems live for two years, with seedlings replacing older plants. It produces pale green bracts and flower buds in late fall, with seeds maturing and shedding by summer. This plant prefers well-drained soil and should not be planted in soggy conditions. An interesting feature is its noticeable odor when disturbed. It is also resistant to rabbits and suitable for dry shade gardens.
