Looking to add one of the earliest bloomers to your garden? Gold Collection® Champion Helleborus is a choice early bloomer, bringing life and joy when it is most needed in early February. Helleborus x ericsmithii 'Champion', also known as Lenten Rose or Snow Rose, has beautiful pink buds that open to creamy-white flowers with yellow stamens that are contrasted with dark green foliage.
Gold Collection® Champion Helleborus is a low-maintenance, hardy perennial in zones 4-9. With evergreen foliage, this prolific bloomer has an upright, clumping habit, reaching 15 inches tall and 2 feet wide. Unlike other hellebores, its flowers face upward and forward for all passerbyers to enjoy. Gold Collection® Champion is native to European mountain forests and prefers shade. It is an easy groundcover, good for containers, and great for garden borders with its lower height. This Gold Collection® is deer and rabbit resistant.
Gold Collection® Champion Helleborus Care
Gold Collection® Champion Helleborus prefers full sun to shade. It likes well-drained soil that is rich and fluffy, and does not tolerate wet feet. Do not get impatient if your hellebore does not flower the first season, as they take a few years to establish prior to blooming. Gold Collection® Champion Helleborus is not a heavy feeder; fertilize only once a year in the early spring with a balanced fertilizer or add compost.
Gold Collection® Champion Helleborus requires minimal pruning. After flowering, the foliage remains evergreen throughout the season adding interest to the garden all year round. In early winter, remove any damaged or dead leaves from the plant prior to flowering and its emergence from dormancy. Gold Collection® Champion makes great cut flowers; flower stems can be cut and submerged in boiling water for prolonged vase life.
Gold Collection® Helleborus Spacing
Gold Collection® Champion reaches 15 inches tall and 2 feet wide. Space plants 16 - 20 inches apart for mass plantings. When planting and spacing, keep in mind that the foliage remains throughout the season, so allow adequate space among other perennials in the garden.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
