Helleborus

<< < (5/5)

Leena:
Yes, I put the leaves on top of the buds in January when cold was coming, and under snow the buds pushed up the leaves when they grew!
Most of Helleborus buds look like this.

Véronique Macrelle:
Helleborus foetidus is flowering and spreading freely in my garden and I sometimes have to pull up a few young plants...

yesterday, between 2 very green young plants, I found this one, which seems to have purple foliage: is there such a thing as a Helleborus with dark red foliage or is it reddened because it is suffering?

Gail:
On a trip to the Greek Rhodope with Oron Peri we saw a lovely colony of H. cyclophyllus which had a couple of plants with really good purple new foliage.

Véronique Macrelle:
indeed!

Jeffnz:
There are species that have red-purple flowering bracts and new foliage of the same color. The coloration disappears as the flowers and foliage age, so nothing to be concerned about.
