I always chuckle to myself at this time of year when I hear the term "Christmas Rose" because for many folks it creates the expectation of a rose that blooms in winter at Christmas.
By making the production process far easier, the numbers and availability of hellebores began to ramp up.The Heuger family in Germany spent years breeding two features into hellebores to make them much more interesting and valuable in the home garden. Several varieties make up Heuger's lovely "Gold Collection," and they share a few outstanding characteristics: they flower the first year with a very long bloom period; they have diverse flowers and foliage; most perform as well in containers as in the ground; they are long-lived; and they can be used as ground covers in shady locations.
It's a showstopper. "Love Bug" is a smaller version of "Pink Frost" and is ideal for containers. A new series, called "Ice 'n' Roses," has red, rose or white flowers contrasted by rich dark foliage, and their blooms are one-and-a-half times larger than traditional blossoms.
