Home : Focus on Hellebores

Hellebores are the specialty of the house. We've been breeding our own line of hybrids and growing most of the species for many years now. We are continually adding information on breeding, propagating and cultivation, and image galleries of our latest selections. About Helleborus x hybridus 'Sunshine Selections' We use a labor-intensive process of emasculation and hand-pollination to produce the only commercially available line of true F1 hybrids. Picture gallery of Helleborus x hybridus 'Sunshine Selections' A gallery featuring representatives of the parental stock used in creating 'Sunshine Selections'. About Double Hellebores I'm completely enthralled with double Hellebores. Starting back in 1997, I've been doing controlled crosses and selecting outstanding doubles from ten of thousands of seedlings. Hellebore Picture Galleries Galleries of doubles, semi-doubles, anemone-flowered and other outrageous Hellebores. Named Varieties of Helleborus x hybridus Vegetative propagation of Hellebores is excruciatingly slow, but tissue culture is allowing us to speed the process of developing named varieties of worthy hybrids. Helleborus Species We have been growing most Helleborus species and varieties for years. Hellebore Breeding Gardens Many gardeners who would love to visit during peak bloom season, mid March, and are unable to, have asked me for photos of the 6-acre section of the hillside gardens that are home to the more than 68,000 mature, blooming Hellebores. Picture Gallery of Helleborus x hybridus 'Frenchy' December 2001 -- The latest introduction in our Helleborus foetidus series. Discovered by a friend of mine on a seed collecting expedition in the French Alps.
