Helleborus hybrid Golden Lotus
1 Gallon Pot
Winter Jewel Series
Zone 4

One of the finest low-growing, early flowering plants in cultivation. No garden should be without one. 3-4” flowers last for 8-10:weeks. Evergreen. Easy to grow requiring shade and occasional water. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten! Skin irritant.
The Winter Jewel Hellebores have been carefully bred from only the best plants collected from around the globe in order to produce a range of new and exciting flower forms and colours. These form a mound of leathery, evergreen foliage bearing upright stems of large, saucer-shaped blooms from late winter through spring. Great in part shade. Site these where they will stay for many years, since the plants resent being disturbed. Trim the older leaves to the ground in late winter before the buds emerge, to allow the flowers maximum impact. Bred by Hellebore hybridizer Marietta O’Byrne of Oregon.
Features fluffy, double, lemon yellow petals, often streaked, spotted, or edged with burgundy. Reported to be rarest member in the series.
