Cheerful and vigorous, Hellebore Winter Jewels 'Golden Sunrise' (Helleborus) features large (2-3 in. wide, 5-8 cm), single, saucer-shaped, canary-yellow blossoms, some with a red picotee edge or a showy red starburst center. The flowers are downward facing, like most hellebores, but the back of their petals is handsomely marked with colorful red veining. Blooming heavily for weeks from late winter to early spring, these nodding beauties rise on sturdy, thick stems above the leathery, glossy, evergreen foliage. Showy and long-lasting, ideal to brighten the shade garden!
