Like if you love hellebores! Hybrid hellebores are often touted as top-notch choices for shady gardens, and that reputation is well deserved, because few other perennials adapt so well to these tough sites.

They’ll thrive in rich, well-prepared shady beds, for sure, but they can also settle into spaces between tree and shrub roots, where it can be a challenge to get lesser perennials established. You get a beautiful show of blooms for months each spring, and then rich green foliage to fill the space with lovely leaves through summer, fall, and winter. Though they may not be 100-percent deer proof (we’re convinced that even plastic flowers can’t claim that!), hybrid hellebores tend to be far less enticing to those hooved-and-horned marauders than most other perennials.
