| Summary |
"Hellebores come close to being the perfect perennial. With their early, long-lasting, exquisitely shaped and colored flowers, handsome, often evergreen foliage, hardiness, durability, and tolerance of shade, they offer almost every quality a gardener could wish for. In the last few years, a profusion of new hybrids - including double-flowered forms and fascinating interspecific crosses - has added to their appeal, catapulting them to superstar status within the gardening world." |
