All About Hellebores

Hellebores are an incredible group of evergreen perennials for gardeners from zone 3 to zone 9. In warmer zones, they are winter- and early spring-bloomers providing colour from late November through April. In colder zones, they flower in late winter and early spring as soon as the snow melts. In any zone they provide interest when most other plants are soundly dormant bringing forth the first major burst of perennial colour for the season.
