Hybrid hellebore on trial
March 03, 2009
Here's my plant of the new hybrid between Helleborus niger and Helleborus x hybridus - 'Walberton's Rosemary'. I posted about it in August and again in October over on my Royal Horticultural Society New Plants blog. The plant is growing in a friend's garden "somewhere in England". This is her picture showing a very large flower with plenty of buds still to come... It's been blooming since before Christmas.
Anyone with experience of growing any of the (admittedly rather few hybrids) between Helleborus niger and Helleborus x hybridus please post a comment here and tell us all about how the plants are doing or email me off list. Thanks - I'm working on an article about them.
