Description
Legend has it that an angel gave a Christmas rose to a young shepherdess who had no present for the infant Jesus. The genus is an ancient Greek name for the plant. The entire plant is deadly poisonous.
Hellebores are aristocrats of the winter and early spring garden. Beautiful nodding saucer-shape flowers grace the stems when few plants brave the elements. The leathery foliage is durable and attractive throughout the summer and winter seasons. The flowers consist of 5 showy petallike sepals surrounded by leafy bracts. Flowers may be flat with many fuzzy stamens or tubelike with the stamens concealed. The leathery sepals persist for over a month, well after the seed capsules begin to form.
