Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The Mardi Gras Doubles represent the best entry level double strain that we've seen with great form and colour. The Mardi Gras Series is bred by Charles Price of Seattle whose work predates that of most American breeders. His double strain is a mix of whites, pinks and deep pinks on strong vigorous plants. This is a great way to get into double hellebores for the first time. A high percentage of plants will bloom double but some will bloom single. Deer resistant.
