Each petal of this lovely Hellebore presents a blend of pink to apricot to yellow green, sometimes highlighted with deeper rose flecks. Like most Hellebores, 'Mango Madness' becomes more impressive with age, and mature plants will be covered with more than 50 blossoms at a time. Grows slowly the first year in the garden, but with each season larger clumps are obtained. Easy in a well drained neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Deer resistant and evergreen! Another one of Chris Hanson's terrific Winter Thriller Hellebores.
