Pictures of the yellow hellebores, as promised. Helleborus hybridus with red flares. As this strain is seed grown, each plant has individually marked flowers. The yellow color is pale-but definitely yellow. I couldn’t resist-I had to have this one.
Deborah Silver is a landscape and garden designer whose firm, Deborah Silver and Co Inc, opened its doors in 1986. She opened Detroit Garden Works, a retail store devoted to fine and unusual garden ornament and specialty plants, in 1996. In 2004, she opened the Branch studio, a subsidiary of the landscape company which designs and manufactures garden ornament in a variety of media. Though her formal education is in English literature and biology, she worked as a fine artist in watercolor and pastel from 1972-1983. A job in a nursery, to help support herself as an artist in the early 80’s evolved into a career in landscape and garden design. Her landscape design and installation projects combine a thorough knowledge of horticulture with an artist’s eye for design. Her three companies provide a wide range of products and services to the serious gardener. She has been writing this journal style blog since April of 2009.

I understand your fascination, these hellebores are gorgeous. I like the ones with the little dots on them best, they are very subtle. Would you say the color is yellow or chartreuse? What a nice find!
The have a different look than helleborus odorata, corsicus, angustifolia. They really are yellow. This is the first time I have seen one in person-lovely.
Yellow helios’s: any left? would like 6, at minimum – Thank you.
Dear Madeline, he is bringing some more tomorrow-I will hang on to them for you. Deborah
They are beautiful, but in a subtle vs. stunning way. Don’t think I’ve seen this variety here in Hawaii.
They are subtle-but entirely stunning.
Hi Deborah and Rob,
Just returned from shunning the snow and loving the spring at your fair. You brought so many different garden sources together within your stunning store. Bought several little treasures remind me of the day and the lovely people I met.
Thank you, elaine
Thank you, Elaine. It was a good day today-for all of us! Best, Deborah
The fair was beautiful yesterday! The set up was absolutely gorgeous. Even though it was literally freezing yesterday, made me feel warm all over. Great seeing all the growers – haven’t seen them since late Fall. Missed yellow Hellebores – hopefully I can find them @ local markets, or take a road trip to Fowierville.
Dear Susie, Joseph says he is bringing more-12 to 4 today. Deborah
Hi Deborah! I work for Lloyd Micheal and am a HUGE Hellebore fan! I have quite a collection of them and am also growing them from seed. Have you seen the “Banana Cream Pie” hellebore? I bought this in Iowa about five years ago and it is one of my favorites. I also have reds, blues, blacks, the “stinky rose” which is a beautiful lime green color, pinks such as “Cotton Candy”, whites (including Lenten/Christmas Rose/Niger). I recently acquired a “peppermint ice” that is a double-flowered and is an amazing grower. I will be selling the “Niger” hellebore at the market as I have 100s that I have grown from seeds, which is quite challenging to do do as it takes 18 months for the seeds to germinate…etc. Sorry, I tend to ramble when talking about ‘bores!!! Just Love them! See you at the Market!
See you at market! Can’t wait to see your babies. I am crazy about them too-I could grow fields of them-if I had fields!
