Common name: Hellebore 'Angel Glow'

Description: This stunning hellebore hybrid offers an extended display of nodding, cup-shaped flowers that emerge in late winter and continue into mid-spring, providing colour when little else is flowering. The large blooms open in soft apricot-pink shades, gradually maturing to deeper rose-pink tones with attractive veining and a central boss of golden stamens. The flowers are held on sturdy stems above the handsome, leathery, evergreen foliage that forms a substantial clump. This is one of the most floriferous hellebores, often producing dozens of flowers per plant. The long-lasting blooms are excellent for cutting and bringing indoors to appreciate their subtle beauty up close.
