Helleborus foetidus

Shall we address the elephant in the room? Does this hellebore really stink?! We've come across stinking hellebore quite a few times in our UK garden travels, and we've never wrinkled our noses strolling past it. It's an understated lovely perennial with a contrast of dark green foliage and chartreuse flowers.

This plant is evergreen and blooms in late winter or very early spring. Given some shade, hellebores are easy to care for.

CAUTION: poisonous
