Deep Burgundy
Hellebores (Lenten Roses), are fantastic plants for a dappled sun to full shade spot in a woodland garden. An easy-to-grow perennial with a bushy, clumping habit, it just needs some organically rich, moist, and well-drained soil with a neutral pH to grow and thrive for a long time. Hellebores pair nicely with Hostas and ferns and come in a deep variety of colors, including pink, green, rose, yellow, white, red, burgundy and several stunningly different color combinations.
Bloom time is typically early February to April and can be extended with deadheading. A great low-maintenance plant, it's resistant to deer and rabbits, but should have some protection from extreme winter winds. Can be divided as it matures.
Grows 5' - 6' ht. & sp.
What a beautiful flower this Camellia has! Autumn Spirit is a hybrid between C. oleifera x C. sasanqua and deserves to be a focal point of any garden. It's bright and deep pink peony-shaped blooms are an intense show-stopper, and show up early in the season.
Like most sasanquas, they prefer slightly acidic and moist, rich soil that is well-drained, and they could use a little protection from the brutal afternoon summer heat.
Our plants are espaliered, but these would work well as a corner foundation plant, screen or even in a container.
