Pacific Frost Corsican Hellebore features showy nodding creamy white cup-shaped flowers with light green overtones and buttery yellow anthers at the ends of the stems from late winter to early spring. Its attractive serrated oval compound leaves emerge coral-pink in spring, turning dark green in colour with showy white variegation and tinges of chartreuse the rest of the year. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Pacific Frost Corsican Hellebore will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 18 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 5 years.
This plant does best in partial shade to shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water.  It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America, and parts of it are known to be toxic to humans and animals, so care should be exercised in planting it around children and pets. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
