Elegant Color-Changing Blooms for the Winter Garden
Winter-to-Spring Blooms with Unique Mahogany and Cream Tones
Helleborus ‘Mahogany Snow’ brings sophisticated beauty to shaded gardens with creamy white blooms that age to a rich mahogany-rose. Each flower lasts for weeks, creating a color-shifting display from late winter through spring. When other plants are dormant, this Lenten Rose delivers striking contrast and charm to the cool-season landscape.
Evergreen Foliage and Compact Habit
Reaching 12–18 inches tall and wide, Mahogany Snow forms a tidy, evergreen mound of glossy green leaves that provide texture year-round. The sturdy stems hold blooms upright above the foliage, ensuring every flower is on display. Its compact form makes it ideal for borders, woodland gardens, or decorative winter containers.
Tough, Hardy, and Deer-Resistant
Like all hellebores, Mahogany Snow is a reliable performer—deer- and rabbit-resistant, drought-tolerant once established, and nearly pest-free. It thrives in partial to full shade and handles cold winters with ease. Perfect for low-maintenance gardens, it rewards minimal care with year after year of blooms.
Perfect for Pollinators and Four-Season Interest
This early bloomer is a crucial nectar source for pollinators waking from winter. Its long-lasting flowers and evergreen foliage keep your garden alive from January through spring. Pair it with ferns, heuchera, or hostas for a layered, textural shade garden that looks elegant every month of the year.
