    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Sprays of huge 3-4" blooms of bright-pink are decorated with spots and sprays of dark-pink to wine, making this 18" t x 24" evergreen shade-lover a bouquet in itself! Blooming early to mid-spring, these tiny parachutes extend the hellebore season. These exquisite blossoms are perfect in vases, containers or shady borders. PSh-Sh/M PPAF

    The huge 3_" flowers of this strain are bright pink with a fine spray of tiny dark pink to wine coloured spots on all of the petals. Most flowers have soft blush pink backs, but others have nicely contrasting white backs, lending a two-tone look to the blooms. The Winter Thrillers Series is bred by Chris Hansen who has spent more 20 years perfecting his strains. Exact flower colour will vary between plants as this is a seed strain. Deer resistant. Perennial Plant of the Year 2005.
