Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Helleborus Mango Magic is a vigorous strain that produces an abundance of very large 3_?, single creamy orange-apricot flowers with red flecks and edges. Mature plants can have over 50 flowers at once held up on strong stems above the foliage! The Winter Thrillers Series is bred by Chris Hansen who has spent more 20 years perfecting his strains. Exact flower colour will vary between plants as this is a seed strain. Deer resistant. Perennial Plant of the Year 2005.
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.
