Helleborus (Christmas or Lenten Rose)
The whole gardening world seems enchanted with these mostly evergreen, woodland winter-flowering perennials. We are offering some very special types this year, including the rare H. x nigercors, H. x ericsmithii, the breeding work of the former Heronswood Nursery, and finally clonal selections of Helleborus x hybridus. Hellebores are easy-to-grow if you provide improved soil in a lightly shaded woodland-type situation. Hellebores become amazingly drought-tolerant with age and are great under summer-thirsty deciduous trees. Watch for seedlings around your parent plants...you may come up with some great hybrids of your own.

Open House/Web-Only!
These double-flowered lenten roses are from the Pine Knot breeding program of Dick and Judith Tyler. These 3-quart plants are all flowering size, but we have not yet seen the flowers to determine which are truly doubles. Regardless, the genetics are certainly double, so if you're clone doesn't flower double, some of the offspring certainly will. Judith tells me that approximately 75% should flower double.
