Helleborus 'Father of the Bride'

The sublime Helleborus 'Father of the Bride' bestows a clean, crisp purity upon the late winter landscape, illuminating shaded borders like fresh snowfall. As an exceptional selection from Hans Hansen's celebrated Wedding Party series, this premium evergreen perennial unfurls an abundant display of large, 3-inch, completely double blossoms of a pristine, milky white. A striking, intense wine-red to purple collar of heavy speckling radiating from the base of each petal creates a dramatic, high-contrast focal point around bright yellow stamens, all framed perfectly by a thick mound of leathery, dark emerald-green foliage that stays fully evergreen and deer-resistant through the year.

Incorporate this premium specimen into layered shade gardens, where it pairs flawlessly with delicate, shade-loving ferns, dense architectural sedges, or the colorful plumes of dramatic astilbes to build rich textural layers.

Info: Our plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large root systems. These are not a small liner but a plant you can put right into your garden. That means you will get a bigger plant right away compared to a starter plant. We guarantee you will get a true to type healthy plant that you will love for years. If you have any problems or questions we are happy to help. During early spring plants may still be breaking dormancy so they may appear smaller than they will be when they fully leaf out. In Fall or Winter the plants may be dormant which means the may be losing or have completely lost their leaves.

Shipping: We do not ship to Hawaii or Alaska due to cost and import restrictions. Plants will be removed from their pots and loose soil removed and the rootball placed in a bag. We are an inspected nursery from the VA Dept of AG
