Winter Rose. This range of Hellebores has a tight petaloid forming around the centre of each flower, which fall off once the flower is pollinated - the flower is then single. Very pretty and free flowering winter-spring. Plant in humus rich soil for best results. Perennial.

Clifton Homestead N.Z.'s premier grower of Hellebores tells us that these hybrids will tolerate some sun but probably best to still give them some shade in the afternoon. The colour range is mainly from white through to pink.
