The closest relatives of this striking genus are the bleeding hearts. The Greek name, meaning “crested lark,” alludes to the elegant bird-like appearance of the flowers, which grow in racemes among ferny foliage.

Woody plants tend to add a sense of structure and permanence to our gardens. They can be planted as specimens or in swaths. Many of them offer artful bark, branching patterns, year-round foliage, swelling buds or cold-weather blooms, promoting welcome winter allure. Please be sure to check out our on-line shrub and tree selections.
and who isn’t on a chilly mid-January day? I certainly was, as I strolled through the nursery and garden with a steaming mug of Oolong tea and my trusty canine companion, Boobah in tow. Almost immediately I was pleasantly surprised to spot the Hellebores. Bejeweling the winter garden, their marvelous single or double-petaled blooms yield an array of colors that include chartreuse, sparkling white, pink, smoky plum, and a rich nearly black maroon. Apart from the Hellebores, I came upon the plump berries, glistening evergreen foliage and winter flowers that are featured in this newsletter. We hope you find a healthy dose of January cheer!
All of us plant wranglers at the nursery, along with Boobah, our wee greeter and self-appointed nursery manager, and shy kitty, Parker, wish you countless happy hours digging in a garden of your own!
