Barry Glick at Sunshine Farms hand pollinates their stock to produce true F1 Hybrids - bringing hybrid vigor and brilliant color. Flowers are 2", in pink to white to green to almost black. Blooms very early. Deep green leathery leaves form a ground covering, broad clump. Charming and welcome first flowering perennials of spring. Patented.
Float flowers in clear bowls for an elegant centerpeice. Helleborus herald the coming of spring with lovely nodding cup-shaped flowers.
General Information:
Helleborus are the perfect perennial when you need a splash of color as you weary of winter's grip. Avoid dry soil with full sun. Good evergreen groundcover.
Plant Care:
Prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil and regular watering. Cut back flowering stems after bloom to promote new foliage growth and to prevent prolific self seeding. Many plantlets will form around base of parent plant and will bloom around the third year if left alone. Division is generally not needed but can be performed in early spring if desired.
