You can't have TOO many hellebores! These seedlings have handsome parents with flowers of deep rose to shimmering burgundy – the result is shades of every thing in between – many with attractive, contrasting spots! Morning sun to moderate shade, most soils, winter bloom, deer and gopher resistant – flowers last over a week when cut – a real performer for the PNW!!
