The range of colors is tremendous in this class of helleborus. The colors range from red to yellow, from green to burgundy - some have spotted flowers and some have double, frilly flowers. In most cases consumers have purchased their plants without flowers because most Helleborus x hybridus have been produced from seed. These gardeners have gardened with blind faith.
