Nursery contributed plant descriptions

If you're a hellebore collector, take note. 'Winterbells' is the successful result of the near impossible cross of the Christmas rose (Helleborus niger) and H. foetidus called H. x sahinii The result is an upright plant with a mound of leathery foliage and copious numbers of pendant, two inch wide, cupped cream and green flowers with pink reverses. Once established 'Winterbells' can bloom for up to seven months from late winter to fall! Deer resistant. Grow in full to part sun, not shade.
