Helleborus x hybridus WT Showtime Ruffles
Helleborus Winter Thrillers 'Showtime Ruffles' has large, warm purple flowers frequently sporting either a light pink or a darker purple picotee edge.
This vigorous strain produces an abundance of very large 3½”, double, warm purple flowers that often have a picotee edge either in light pink or darker purple though remember this is a seed strain so every plant is different. The Winter Thrillers Series is bred by Chris Hansen who has spent more than 15 years perfecting his strains working to constantly improve flower colour and size, plant vigour and foliage quality.
