Nursery contributed plant descriptions

For many years, it was thought the acaulescent and caulescent species could not be hybridized, not so, Helleborus niger can be readily crossed with Helleborus argutifolius, resulting in the virtually sterile Helleborus x nigercors. The foliage of these hybrids resembles Helleborus niger, but the abundance of flowers is much greater, often over 100 per plant. There are now several clonal tissue cultured selections of Helleborus x nigercors including Helleborus 'Valentine Green' green leaves and creamy flowers, Valentine Green is more creamy than green and a must for any serious hellebores collector, ZONE 4
