Hellebores are one of the most popular winter flowering plants. Even in the depths of December and January, when it is cold and dark, hellebores exhibit remarkable strength, producing shoots and blooms at a time when color is most needed in the yard.

While hellebores are undoubtedly star performers, supporting companion plants are just as important. One hellebore in a garden border might not look very impressive, but a flowering hellebore plant surrounded by lush ferns and spring bulbs will make for quite a spectacle.
