Helleborus 'Royal Heritage' is a stunning hellebore hybrid that boasts an impressive range of flower colors within a single plant. This cultivar produces large, outward-facing blooms that can display shades of white, pink, purple, green, and even near-black - sometimes all on the same plant. The flowers have a delicate, velvety texture and are held atop sturdy, evergreen foliage that provides year-round interest. Reaching heights of 18-24 inches, Helleborus 'Royal Heritage' forms a compact, mounded habit that makes it well-suited for planting in the front of shaded borders, rock gardens, or woodland settings. Its early spring bloom time, from late winter through mid-spring, provides a much-needed burst of color at a time when few other perennials are flowering. The diverse color range of 'Royal Heritage' makes it a versatile choice that can be used to complement a variety of companion plants, from ferns and hostas to spring-blooming bulbs. This eye-catching hellebore cultivar is sure to be a standout in any shade garden.

Limited Availability

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

About Ordering From The Plant Club

To secure the best prices for club members and make sure we know the current plants available from each nursery, we take orders only a couple of times a month.

Shoot us an email at help@northshoreplantclub.com, and we'll be happy to talk about plants or let you know when it's time to buy them!


No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
