Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very easy to grow, Lenten Rose varieties flower before almost any other plant, starting as early as January. We love this plant because it makes us feel like spring is right around the corner, and gives us something new and refreshing to look at in the landscape. 'White Spotted Lady' has white petals with dark freckles and has more upright flower stalks than many other Hellebore varieties.
The White Lady Spotted strain offers white to creamy white flowers with varying degrees of red spots. The Lady Series is a good entry level series of separate colour strains. This series offers good colour depth, large flowers, and vigorous plants. The Lady Series comes from Gisela Schmiemann of Cologne, Germany. Deer resistant. Perennial Plant of the Year 2005.
This elegant empress will take command of your winter garden. Warmed by a maroon freckled center and distinctively showcased against a dark green, thick-leafed evergreen base, each beautiful rounded white blossom appears to be sculpted from snow. Her glorious bearing is the result of Germany's Gisela Schmiemann's outstanding Hellebore breeding program.
