Ice N' Roses Bianco Hellebore
Best low-maintenance perennial for shaded, deer-prone woodland gardens.
These hellebores solve the problem of dull, early-spring shade by pushing their blooms upward instead of hiding them toward the dirt. They are remarkably low-maintenance and deer-resistant, though you will have to trade off rapid growth for their slow-burning, evergreen elegance.
