Pinky purple flowers that are beautiful doubles. Most of the plants will bloom this year.

By: Gossler Farms

Luscious shades of orchid and rose overlay the exquisite creamy-white fully double flowers of this shade garden queen. 15" clumps of deep-green evergreen foliage are nice year round, but the bright blooms in late winter to early spring are just what you need to cure the winter doldrums. These are very easy-care perennials that the deer do not touch. PSh-Sh/M

Winter Jewels™ hellebores are from a hand-selected seed strain, thus each plant produces a slightly different flower. Some 'Berry Swirl's have cream centers and dark edges. Deep green leathery palmate leaves add interest to the winter garden. Handle drought, once established. Deer resistant. Plant 18" to 20" apart.

Another saucy double, this one in luscious cherry & orchid shades! Very decadent. ‘Berry Swirl’ bears 3” blooms packed with petals that are colorful from both below & above (which is helpful, since the flowers are nodding, of course.) Occasionally white flowered individuals with red-purple borders may appear in the mix. Long lived & hardy, Hellebores are a mainstay of the shade garden & provide ornament & interest through the Winter months & beyond! Tolerant of clay, drought (once established,) deer & poor soil, plus they’re really lovely plants. Part of the Winter Jewels series, ‘Berry Swirl’ was bred by Ernie & Marietta O’Byrne of Eugene Oregon, who painstakingly hand select & pollinate their unique strains to ensure consistency, quality & vigor.
