The WEDDING PARTY is selected plants with notable vigor, showy floral displays with large numbers of blossoms per plant, and rich flower colors. New ones can include a double. A mixture of color strains includes black, mauve, purple, white, yellow, and pink. Hellebores are the harbingers of spring, blooming for six weeks or more beginning in late winter. This is the perfect plant for naturalizing in moist, woodland areas where its extensive root system will spread as far as it is allowed.
