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!!

Sunny golden yellow flowers with brown centers face upwards along the tops of this dwarf perennial sunflower. Tight habit of Helianthus Table Mountain makes it especially striking in groups. Prolific Bloomer!

These are mixed seedling plants. Flowers can be purple, pink, white, and some yellow. We don’t color sort so we just pick the best plants and if you order several you will get a range of colors when in bloom.

Perhaps one of the finest low growing, early flowering plants, this Helleborus is easy to grow, requiring only shade and some moisture. The nodding flowers, which range in color from blush white to plum, are usually spotted on the inside with crimson and maroon. Lustrous and dark green, the 12 in. wide evergreen leaves are divided into seven to nine segments.
