Well, it's that time of the year for one of the earliest blooming plants to start. Hellebores are a great four season interest plant. This photo was taken today, 1/26/12. The leaves are tough like rhododendron and stay green all year. In the mid-winter they will start to bloom and can last into the spring, some varieties start earlier. The blooms are a welcome sight at this time of the year to add interest and to get things going in our gardens. A bit pricey but well worth the display that they keep on giving. Look for them in your better garden centers. Hellebore Information: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3. |
