Wonderful Winter Rose Heleborus orientalis
Now all of the autumn leaves have fallen, it is time to give your deciduous trees a perfect planting partner. Winter Rose (Helleborus) are one of the few plant varieties that offer colour for winter. They are a tough, low plant that can be planted en masse in a shady position, perfect under trees. You could plant a mass of one variety or become a collector of Hellebores and plant a mix. The colour range is huge; from plum, pink, peach, primrose and white. See the full range here. 3 for $50 or $19.99 each. Their petal structure is also unique; some with a single row of petals, double or tutu. Hellebores also look great and thrive among Camellias and Daphne to creative a riot of colour in winter. There is such a huge range of varieties of winter colour choice to liven up your garden this season.
