Description
This line of plants is still somewhat of a mystery to us. We commonly refer to the Anemone Centered plants as being half way between a 'single' and a 'double'. The nectaries of the 'single' flower are elongated and form 'petaloids'. Interestingly, these 'petaloids' are always the same colour as the outer petals! Once the flower has been pollinated, the petaloids fall off and the flower appears as a 'single'. This drawback is compensated by the Anemone Centred hybrids having a lot of flower stems as a mature plant, giving a long flowering season. Hardy and tolerant of sun, like all hellebores, they like free drainage. Generally pink shades although we are now getting some White, Dark, and Picotee edged hybrids.
