Helleborus hybridus ‘Amber Gem’ at Digging Dog Nursery

Winter Jewels® Hellebore

Helleborus

Christmas Rose/Lenten Rose

Stories about this genus are countless. In medieval times, it was considered a weapon against witches, madness and evil spirits. Hellebores deserve a place in every garden, not only because of their supposed power, but because they bloom for a long time, early in winter, when the weather is cool and many plants are still dormant. Most like moist, loamy soil with lime and leaf mold. We like them as ground covers for deciduous shrubs, conifers, or broad-leafed evergreens, and when possible plant them in an elevated spot to admire their flowers.

World-renowned Hellebore breeder Marietta O’Byrne earns kudos for this woodland diva’s large flouncy double flowers. A variable carousel of colors, each extraordinary yellow bloom features rumpled peach and rose-blushed petals that are often trimmed with red or hot pink picotee margins, creating an overall cozy amber shade. The lucent floral display sojourns atop a regal evergreen foundation defined by robust, polished forest-green foliage.
