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.
A meticulously crafted cross from Josef Heuger’s Gold Collection, this easy-care Helleborus x ericsmithii and Helleborus x hybrida introduction promotes impressive vigor, longevity and flower power. Extra-large outward-facing single blooms showcase icy pink overlapping petals with dark pink edges and backsides, while prominent canary-yellow centers add a zingy grace note. Poised on stout reddish stems, glamorous pretty-in-pink posies are cushioned by a lustrous evergreen bed of thick, deeply cut lobes.
