Merlin Snow
Helleborus x ballardiae ‘HGC Merlin’, commonly known as Hellebore ‘Merlin’, is an evergreen perennial that brings a touch of elegance to any garden. It produces loose clusters of outward-facing, saucer-shaped flowers that start as cream to pale pink and mature into a rich, dark, dusky pink, creating a beautiful blend of colors. The plant’s leathery, dark green, marbled leaves provide a striking backdrop to the flowers. Growing in a bushy, upright clump, its flowers typically bloom in late winter or early spring. Hellebore ‘Merlin’ thrives in partial shade and prefers fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soils, though it can tolerate full sun and is relatively easy to grow.However, it is toxic to humans and pets if ingested and can cause skin irritation, so caution is advised.
