Nursery contributed plant descriptions

These lovely seedlings from our garden plants present early to late winter flowers of a warm, orange-red streaked and centered with creamy yellow. Though variable, they are all particularly showy in midwinter and appear apricot from a distance. These winter bloomers can add beauty to a shady garden spot in late winter to early spring. The same culture as for other hellebores - part shade, dappled shade, or deep shade with occasional summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6 and possibly below.
