Helleborus ericsmithii Winter Sunshine PP 20 979 Thalictrum unirrigated roadside bank where it(aka: Helleborus HGP02) Helleborus 'Winter Sunshine' is a 2007 introduction from England's Harveys Garden Plants. This Helleborus niger x sternii hybrid forms a 12" tall x 18" wide evergreen clump of dark pewter green foliage. The clumps are topped in late winter with stalks of outfacing flowers, white on the outside and pink on the back. Plant in well drained soils, keep it out of deep shade, and you'll have a superb deer resistant garden specimen.
