Helleborus orientalis

Hellebore

Winter is all about dreaming of the flowers to come in spring, right? Except, hellebores. I think it’s fair to call them one of the weirdos of the plant world, and thank goodness for them! It’s not just that they bloom at a time when nothing else even looks alive— these are some of the prettiest flowers you’ll see all year, and if you want, you can grow loads of them. It is entirely possible to have a garden that peaks in February.
