Helleborus x hybridus 'Whirlwind Romance'

Helleborus x hybridus 'Whirlwind Romance'                                                                              (Wedding Party Series) 'Whirlwind Romance' has dark burgundy veins over white petals, with the back of the petal showing dark burgundy color. Compared to 'Blushing Bridesmaid' this variety is a darker burgundy with more color saturation at petal tips. Hellebores are harbingers of spring, blooming for six weeks or more beginning in late winter. They are often flowering during the Christian season of Lent, from which they get their common name, Lenten Rose. The perfect plant for naturalizing in moist, woodland areas where its extensive root system will spread as far as it is allowed. 18-24", Z4-9.
