New Arrival - Perennial Hellebores Green Corscican

Hellebores have just arrived at Williams Nursery. If you've never grown them, you don't know what you're missing. They are one of the earliest blooming plants in the garden. In fact, you can expect to see them flowering from February to April, depending upon the variety. They range in color from white, pale pink to dark pink, deep purple and even green. Although the flowers do not last very long in cut in arrangements, they are beautiful floating in a dish of water, and they last for a long time. Unlike many other perennials, Hellebores are evergreen, which means their leaves do not die back in winter. Even though their bloom time is very early, they remain attractive as a foliage plant for the entire year. If you have a problem with deer, rest assured that they will not eat Hellebores. If you're itching for some late winter color from a super hardy, low maintenance perennial, stop by and see our Hellebores.
