Breeding Helleborus

 Breeding Hellebores is slow work and it can be habit forming!  I began breeding to create a pure white Lenten Rose or Helleborus xhybridus and soon found that I wanted to branch out.  Fortunately the process itself is simple, the only hard part is waiting for several years to see the results.  The plants at left were all grown from the same seed capsule, a wonderful visual example of why plants MUST bloom before color can be predicted. We will after MUCH debate, offer the seed strains of Gisela Schmiemann which Jelitto Seed Company sells comercially and calls the Lady Series, but we want our customers to know that the is NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PLANTS WILL BE COLORED AS ADVERTISED.
