It seems strange to look outside in the green heat of summer and picture the barren coming winter. However, your garden will soon be dieing back in the face of coming winter yet again (it really does sneak up on me every year). However, your winter garden doesn’t have to be devoid of color and life. There are a variety of plants that are just as, sometimes even more, beautiful in the winter. Helleborus is one of my favorites of these, blooming in late winter to very early spring.
I’m especially excited about our new collection of Winter Jewels Helleborus. These have the most vivid, intense bloom colors I’ve ever seen on Helleborus, and they look absolutely amazing. These American-bred Helleborus are vigorous and heavily budded, and the flowers stick around for as long as three months. They really add something fantastic to the winter palette without losing any of the easy gardening of other Helleborus.
