Helleborus × hybridus WJ Harlequin Gem
Winter Jewels Hellebore |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.255.360
The Winter Jewels™ Hellebores have been carefully hand-bred from only the best plants collected from around the globe in order to produce a range of new and exciting flower forms and colours. These form a mound of leathery, evergreen foliage bearing upright stems of large, saucer-shaped blooms from late winter through spring. This selection features double flowers in an array of complex colours. They may be streaked in red, green or yellow on the inside while the outside is black or purple. Vigorous. Great in part shade. Site these where they will stay for many years, since the plants resent being disturbed. Trim the old leaves to the ground in late winter before the buds emerge, to allow the flowers maximum impact. Bred by Hellebore hybridizer Marietta O’Byrne of Oregon. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten/Skin irritant.
