| Our Hellebores are blooming. |
Hellebores are great shade plants and especially nice because in our grow zone they bloom in winter. The foliage is attractive and green all year round. I've even cut a few blossoms to bring indoors. Check out the many different varieties available at
White Flower Farm. I want to order some of the more exotic varieties.

Our hellebores are the common variety,
Helleborus niger. These are sometimes called Lenten rose or Christmas rose, but they are not members of the rose family. The colored parts are not petals but actually sepals, and they can remain on the plant for several months.
