Helleborus
niger 'Winter Moonlight' Strain Helleborus niger 'Winter
Moonlight'
This was the first selection
that we deemed unusual enough to warrant micro propagation. A failed
cross between H. niger and H. argutifolius, it has the much
publicized "hybrid vigor" and grows like no other niger we have seen.
Buds and blooms appear in December and when we gather
seeds in June the "Superniger" is still flowering. Stems are tall, to
15" and produce two flowers per stem. Excellent as cut flowers as well
as in the garden. Foliage is blue green, with white veins prominent on
new leaves. Flowers are typical niger, white and round
with a large boss of pure gold
stamens.
4" $10.00 qt. $15.00
Helleborus niger 'Double Fantasy
H n Double Fantasy
A
selection done by tissue culture in Japan. Early flowers are fully
double while later flowers may be semi double or single.
Very heavily flowering and fertile. Plants may be used in
breeding.

Helleborus thibetanus Helleborus thibetanus
A very unusual hellebore from China and Tibet, unknown to
westerners
not too long ago. Pale pink blooms resemble tissue or crepe paper, and
fade to a pale almost white green. Plants go dormant
in summer, emerging by Christmas in our garden. Zones
4-8 $25.00
Helleborus torquatus (limited) Helleborus
torquatus
This very rare species is slow to mature and plants may not
flower for 6+ years. Flowers may be blued green inside with
purple veining and purple on the outside, but can be all purple or
all green. Helleborus

Helleborus vesicarius Helleborus vesicarius
From Turkey, this is perhaps the
most unusual hellebore and in many ways it does not resemble a
hellebore at all. The flowers are slightly similar to H. foetidus, the
foliage is reminiscent of celery and it goes dormant very early. We can
only offer this on site and we can not guarantee that it will live.
Until recently we lost every plant we put outside, but we keep trying,
perhaps we will live long enough to see it bloom. As a
container plant it has the decidedly difficult habit of needing a bit
of water while dormant, but 2 teaspoons too many seem to kill it. Not
for the faint of heart, or for people who feel badly if they kill
plants (perhaps we should recommend an anti-depressant as an
accompaniment?)

Helleborus
viridis H.
viridis
A special addition to the woodland with Celadon or chartreuse green
blooms, early flowering and very
hardy. Foliage is a good textural
asset
