Introduce winter elegance to your home with the Gold Collection® Champion Helleborus (Helleborus x ericsmithii ‘Champion’ PP), a shade-loving perennial celebrated for its creamy-white blooms and dark evergreen foliage. Blooming as early as February, this compact plant (15 inches tall) showcases upward-facing flowers with soft pink undersides, a rare trait among hellebores. Its leathery, silver-veined leaves remain lush year-round, thriving in low-light conditions where other perennials struggle. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it outperforms typical holiday plants with enduring garden value and early-season color that persists through spring.
A Holiday Champion Helleborus reduces seasonal waste and offers a gift that evolves beyond December. Its subtle blooms brighten indoor spaces and holiday centerpieces during winter’s chill. Once planted outdoors, it spreads and forms a dense groundcover and will anchor shaded garden beds for years. This living alternative to disposable trimmings appeals to both eco-conscious shoppers and gardening enthusiasts.
Holiday Gold Collection® Champion Helleborus Care
Place the plant in a cool, bright indoor spot away from direct heat sources, such as a drafty porch or sunlit entryway. Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry, and avoid splashing foliage to prevent disease. Rotate the pot weekly to ensure even light exposure, and shield it from warm drafts to maintain its compact form. If leaves yellow, relocate it to a cooler area like a garage or sheltered outdoor space.
After frost dangers pass, acclimate the Helleborus by gradually increasing its outdoor time over 7–10 days. Plant in partial to full shade with well-drained, organic-rich soil, spacing it 18–24 inches apart to accommodate its mature spread. Mulch lightly to retain moisture and insulate roots during temperature swings. Once established, this hardy perennial requires minimal attention, returning each winter with earlier and more abundant blooms than the last.

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.
