Hellebores are the gems of the winter woodland garden. Hellebores, also known as lenten rose, come in a wide range colors and flower forms, they are deer resistant and drought tolerant once established.

This year we are pleased to offer many new hellebore hybrids from the breeding work of Hans Hansen at Walters Gardens.

We are continuing to add new hellebores to our website monthly, including selections from our own breeding. Be sure to visit during our annual Winter Open Nursery and Garden, Feb. 24-26 and March 3-5, to enjoy the many hellebores blooming in the gardens as well as selecting a few gems for your own.


These are spectacularly beautiful!
I have a hellebore that is blooming now – I thought it a bit early here on Cape Cod.
Thanks So Much for your lovely pictures & notes about all of these Beautifull new plants. I’m working on putting together a Very Small “Secret Garden’ & would love to have a few of the Helllebores: especially the Rose Quartz or French Kiss.
However: I live in Scottsdale, AZ & these would be planted in the shady area (Zone 9). Would appreciate your advice in this regard and/or what you DO have that could be planted in that area at your earliest convenience. Thanks So Much! Enjoyed your presentation.
