For those who covet this rarest of hellebore flower forms - the anemone centre or semi double - wait no longer! 'Tutu' has pink petals flushed with green and speckled with dark pink spots. The nectaries that surround the stamens have become petaloid in 'Tutu' and form an intriguing pink and green ruffle at the centre of the flower. The first anemone centred hellebore we have seen available produced from tissue culture -- all plants are identical clones and all will look like the picture. Deer resistant.
