RED CHRISTMAS ROSE
Heleborus orientalis
SKU: 118-5
Description
Helleborus are absolutely stunning perennial flowers that are widely admired! These seeds are for plants producing red flowers! Flowers begin to bloom as the snow is receding, and continue through spring creating a magnificent display. The foliage is dark green, shiny, and evergreen even in the coldest climates. Helleborus can be best appreciated when planted near the front of the perennial border. We have been growing these plants for a number of years in our zone 4 gardens, and they are always a welcomed sight of elegant color!
These seeds are available for a very limited time (see below).
Type: Perennial, evergreen foliage
Height: 18"
Location: Part or full shade
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Seeds per pack: 5
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Availability: These seeds are available for a very limited time. If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as these seeds have a very shorty viability window (so we don't offer them for very long) and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a short time.
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. These seeds require a period of cold. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 2 weeks. They will not grow yet. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
