Lenten Rose Hellebores x ??
I started with Hellebores orientalis. These plants
cross-breed and create new species. I now have cream, green,
burgandy, and mixed colors. These plants colonized well, are
evergreen, and resistant to deer. The plants look nice with a little
pruning in early fall. They begin blooming as early as December
in my zone 7 area.

If you like Hellebores especially those with Green flowers - You have to see the Heronswood Nursery collection which includes Helleborus x hybridus 'Phoenix'. Masses of olive green flowers with a burgundy margin bloom in early March.
