Helleborus x hybridus Lenten Roses

Lenten Rose is the common name for the group of plants that were formerly called H. orientalis or H. orientalis hybrids. They offer flowers in a wide range of colours and foliage forms. Plants sold by colour must have bloomed and been marked so if we sell you a white flowering plant we can guarantee the flowers will be white. H. hybridus foliage
We have been working on our Pine Knot Strain since the early 1980's with serious breeding efforts beginning in the early 1990's. We have traveled to the UK and Europe over 15 times to bring back new plants to increase and better our stock.
We also trade seed with breeders all over the world, so we feel that our stock plants represent some of the best plants anywhere. We select stock not only for colour, but also for vigor, for producing numerous outward facing flowers and for unusual and attractive foliage.

Much has been said about producing clonal forms of Helleborus xhybridus from tissue culture, but there has been very little success until recently, although other forms like H. x ericsmithii have been available for the last few years.
