As the name implies, Pine Knots Select Strain Helleborus is a strain, which means it can produce a marvelous variation in flower size, color and forms. The flowers can be single or double and appear in never-before-seen color combinations of yellow, pink, white, green, red or purple. Basically, you never know what you're going to get, and that's why we love it so much! As with other Lenten Roses, the long-lasting flowers of Pine Knot Select bloom over a long period beginning mid to late winter and continuing through early to mid spring. Cut flowers can last for weeks in a vase or floating in a bowl of water, which makes a great centerpiece for the kitchen or dining room table during the winter and early spring when not much else is blooming. Averaging about 18 inches tall and 2 feet wide or so, these super-hardy evergreen winter-blooming perennial plants are ideal for use as a specimen in smaller garden spaces or in groupings in larger shade gardens or woodland borders and home foundation plantings. Perfect under the canopies of large trees or anywhere that doesn't get too much direct afternoon sunlight. Extremely easy to grow, Hellebores stand up to heat (Zone 9), humidity, cold (-30F), and drought when established. Over the decades we've been growing them in our gardens, we've seen no insect or disease problems and the deer and rabbits leave them alone. Needless to say, we think Helleborus deserves a spot(s) in every garden where it will grow. USDA Plant Hardiness Zones: 4a-9b - Find Your Zone
