Nursery contributed plant descriptions

So new in 2014 that it didn't even have a name just weeks before its Hellebore Hurrah! debut. Now called 'Mystery' this cultivar sports rich, dark green foliage, rose pink buds and large creamy white star-shaped flowers flushed with pink. The outstanding Helleborus Gold Collection brings magical, new life to winter and early spring blooming hellebores. Flowering the first year, they are long blooming, with lots of outward-facing buds and blossom. Deer resistant.
