Helleborus ericsmithii Champion Sun to Light Shade Some scapes tend to lodge(aka: Helleborus 'COSEH 730') This Heuger lenten rose hybrid of Helleborus niger and Helleborus x sternii forms a 15" tall x 2' wide clump of dark evergreen foliage topped, starting in February, with stalks of flower buds that begin rosy pink and open creamy white with a nice pink back. We see that the bizarre dual naming trend is alive and well in Germany, so whether you call it 'Champion' or Winter's Bliss hellebore, just call it for your garden.
