Part Shade: Hellebore- A Great Early Bloomer

Why go out of your way to track down Hellebore plants? When it comes to early blooms, they really have no rival!
I hoped to include a few images of my own Hellebore flowers in this post, but sadly they're buried under six or eight inches of snow. Snow in December is seasonal and cheery. Snow in April is just plain depressing! More rain and snow is forecast for the coming days, so it looks like warm spring weather is still at least a week away.
Several factors have limited my collection of Hellebores up to this point in time. First and foremost they tend to be a bit pricy. It is hard to find a Hellebore for under twenty dollars.
Why go out of your way to track down and purchase somewhat pricy Hellebores?

On my website there is are links to several mail order companies that carry a nice array of Hellebore plants.

Gerry on Apr 07, 2016Thanks for the info, I now know what I have growing in two of my shade beds. A friend gave me 2 of these around 10 years ago. She got them from in front of her mothers house before it was sold but did not know what they were called.
