![]() They prefer rich, moist soil with good drainage, part to full shade and can be grown in virtually every state in the United States. At Sunshine Farm & Gardens, we have accumulated well over 50,000 stock plants in the last 12 years and have an extensive breeding program in place. Many of our plants are original divisions of plants that were bred by Helen Ballard, Eric Smith, Marlene Ahlburgh, Gisela Schmeimann, Don Jacobs, Gunther Jurgl, Robin White of Blackthorne Nursery, John Anton Smith, John Massey of Ashwood Nurseries and several lesser-known, but important breeders in New Zealand, Australia and Belgium.
All other commercial lines of Hellebores offered for sale in the US are from inbred, self-sown seedlings dug from under existing stock plantings and lack the brilliant color and hybrid vigor of hand-pollinated plants. We produce the only commercially available line of true F1 hybrids.
