Helleborus × hybridus WJ Red Sapphire


Winter Jewels Hellebore

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.255.710


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 beautiful selection features double blooms in rose-red. 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.
