Plant of the Day
Friday 14 February 2025
In late winter the clump-forming evergreen Helleborus foetidus (stinking hellebore, bearfoot, ox heel, setterwort, stinkwort) starts to flower. This is a woodland native in the U.K. and will cope with a shaded location. It is a shortlived perennial but tends to self seed so young plants appear nearby.
