Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Assorted double hellebore hybrids of good quality and parentage. These lovely winter bloomers can add beauty to a shady garden spot in late winter to early spring. Part shade, dappled shade, deep shade -- all good, with occasional summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6 and possibly below.
We wanted this plant for ourselves for years. We bought some seedlings from several different nurseries and all were poor colored singles. We found these plants that are white or soft pink and they have all bloomed, so we can assure you they will bloom as doubles. We only get a small number of plants and the wholesale price is high hence the price.
