A hellebore that deserves an attention

For some reason for couple of years I have more hellebores than I deserve…not being a complete fan of them. Maybe an OH influence.
This (Rodney Davey Marbled Group)hybrid is called Pippa’s Purple.( Frostkiss®) – This is a sister plant to ‘Anna’s Red’
It has smokey pink flowers with burgundy flecking and deep purple stems. Leathery, deeply lobed, silver-marbled leaves are ornamental and make the plant look elegant.
It flowers for ever. There are not many plant options that give us colours through the winter season and therefore hellebore seem to be “still” popular.
Leaf colouration
Hellebore Klondike Gold. The Mardi Gras Series is bred by Charles Price of Seattle USA
Perennial Plant of the Year 2005.
and it is the only yellow I own.

Lovely marbled leaves. Mine were deciduous over winter.

Khalanie, most of my Hellebores retain their old summer leaves over winter, and are starting to grow new ones now, the old leaves going brown, but the marbled (only one plant) looses all its leaves and is just starting to grow new ones, so don't think it will now flower now.

Beautiful hellebores, Klahanie. I love your description of the top one...sounds just right.
I do like them, they seem to brighten up a winter/spring garden or woodland..

Love that purple one Klahanie it would be worth the planting for the leaves alone.

It is not dissimilar to one I have called Penny's pink. It too has marbled leaves and goes on for ever.
I too only have one yellow one but it is an un-named Ashwood seedling.
I was late in coming to the party where hellebores are concerned but I wouldn't be with out them now.
