Snowbell Hellebore in Bloom

In this video, I will showcase a charming garden nestled around a maple tree. This elevated area is bordered by stone blocks that help retain the soil. Within this rich environment, you’ll find a variety of perennials thriving, including the ornamental cabbage plant, which is actually not a perennial. I think most people don’t realize how beautiful this plant will get during the cold season. You can find this plant in most garden centers during the early spring along with late summer for Autumn color. The plant in this video has been through snow – sleet – and temperatures way below freezing and we are only at the beginning of winter for my hardiness zone 5b. I had a few pansies planted around the cabbage but they have died back… The ornamental cabbage is said to be edible but I wouldn’t eat it… This pairs beautifully with the Helleborus niger, This variety is called ‘Snowbells’. I don’t recall planting two in this area, so perhaps it has spread over the past seven years. All of my Helleborus growing on my property stay this beautiful green year-round. In the spring the other varieties have more flowers that blooms above the beautiful healthy leaves.
