What a fun way to chase away winter's dark, dreary days.
Looked out the window and saw the Hellebores nodding their heads with pastel blooms.
Hellebores are commonly known as Christmas or Lenten roses. Of
course, they are not actually roses — but the flowers do
resemble a single wild rose. Many varieties bloom from Christmas to
Easter and, therefore, are associated with this time of the year.
I plan to add more since these have trialed so nicely. They are evergreen
perennials that grow in shade or light shade, do not need dividing constantly, are drought tolerant (once
established) and bloom in the winter.
What more could I ask of this special little plant?
I currently write, garden, forage, travel, and chronicle my encounters with wild lives and wildlife in the Southwest via blogging.
