Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Has soft yellow pink flowers that are just as pretty on the outside of the flowers as the inside. Most of the plants will bloom this year.
Helleborus Winter Jewels Apricot Blush is a single strain offering fantastic shades of apricot, light pink, dark pink, and yellow often all in the same flower and sometimes adorned with burgundy-red spots or central stars. Marietta O'Byrne selects for many characters in her breeding work but always important for her is the colour and detailing of the back of each tepal - after all, you'll see this side of the flower more than the nodding face. Each plant is unique. Deer resistant. Perennial Plant of the Year 2005.
Another selection from Marietta O'Byrne's "Winter Jewels" series. 'Apricot Blush' has a distinct coloration that is perfectly described by its name. A seed strain, each flower may differ slightly, but all 'Apricot Blush' flowers fall in the peachy yellow to apricot range with varying degrees of rose veining, speckling, and edges. Limited Supply.
Striking blooms and attractive deep green leathery palmate leaves add interest to the winter garden. Winter Jewels™ hellebores are from a hand-selected seed strain. Each flower is an original and unique blend of yellow and red hues. Handles drought, once established. Deer resistant. Plant 18" to 20" apart.
