Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This has single white to pink flowers with a pink rim around the petals. Most of the plants will bloom this year.
What gardener could possibly resist this “to-die-for” Hellebore? Certainly not me! Very large 3” across double lotus-like blooms are edged in dark pink & delightfully veined & spotted. There’s some variability in shade of pink, but all are gorgeous. A bonus feature is that though the blooms are pendulous (like all Hellebores) the back sides of the petals are rose & veined as well. Tough, reliable & long-lived shade lovers, Hellebores tolerate poor soil, clay, drought & marauding deer. Highly valued for their Winter thru Spring bloom season as well. 2’ tall x 2’ high. ‘Peppermint Ice’ was created thru meticulous hand pollination over 20 years in the making by Marietta O'Byrne of Eugene, Oregon, who selected for flower size, number of bloom & superb vigor. Thanks Marietta!

These large, double, pink picotees are so sweet! Flowers are a fluffy, light pink with a rim of darker pink edging. Dark pink on the back of the tepals adds to the appeal. One of the world's top hybridizers, Marietta O'Byrne has created this wonderful Winter Jewels™ Strain. A delight in the winter garden. Shade and deer resistant!
