Brighten your seasonal decor with the Ivory Prince Christmas Rose (Helleborus x 'Walhelivor'), a shade-loving perennial prized for its leathery silver-veined foliage and creamy-white flowers. Blooming as early as late winter, this compact plant (12–18 inches tall) stands out with reddish-pink buds that mature into upward-facing blooms tinged with green and rose. Ideal for shaded gardens, it thrives where other plants struggle, offering evergreen texture and early color. Its disease resistance and adaptability to poor soils make it a low-effort, high-impact choice for borders, containers, or woodland settings.
Opting for a live Ivory Prince Christmas Rose over artificial decor reduces waste and delivers a gift that grows beyond the holidays. Its subtle blooms bring life to indoor spaces during winter’s gloom, while its perennial nature allows it to flourish outdoors year after year. Once planted in spring, it becomes a self-sustaining groundcover, dropping spent petals to keep gardens tidy. This living centerpiece merges festive charm with enduring garden value, offering more depth and purpose than synthetic alternatives.
Holiday Ivory Prince Christmas Rose Care
Place the plant in a cool, bright indoor spot away from direct heat to mimic its preferred shaded habitat. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between sessions, and avoid wetting the leaves to prevent disease. Rotate the container weekly for even light exposure, and shield it from harsh drafts to maintain its compact, evergreen form. If foliage yellows, move it to a cooler location like a sheltered porch or garage.
When frost risks pass, acclimate the Christmas Rose to outdoor conditions by gradually increasing its time outside over 7–10 days. Plant in part to full shade with well-drained, organic-rich soil, spacing it 18–24 inches apart to accommodate its mature spread. Mulch lightly around the base to insulate roots and retain moisture. In colder zones, transition it outdoors only after steady warmth returns, ensuring it becomes a resilient, early-spring standout in your garden for years.

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.
