hellebores

  • The degree of shade is an important factor in gardening, and usually for flowering plants, partial shade is the best.
  • Cold-season bloomers are rare in the flower world.
  • My current garden is a shadow of its former self...thanks to the urban deer population. However, a few stalwart plants persist.
  • Thanks to many years of dedicated plant hybridizing, it is now possible to have four seasons of color in our gardens.
