Hellebore Double Ellen

As you say a bit confusing, trying to relate the colours to the names, they are lovely though.

Im pretty sure I bought that collection! I do have a double white...but I had forgotten that it came from that collection. You’re so right, they are hard to ID. There is a lot of variation within each named variety. But they are all beautiful. I think I like the second one down best. But I'm sure that I have numbers 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8. I think it was a case of ‘pot luck’!

They are lovely but I find collections are not always named etc.

This one was though SBG. It was a collection of the ‘Double Ellen Series. It included Double Ellen Red, Double Ellen Purple and Double Ellen Picotee. I don’t recall the other names. I think it was from Hayloft? Is that right Thorneyside?

yes hayloft do this collection. good that they were labelled then.

They are all gorgeous ,I find the names of plants very confusing I'm convinced they change the names of Penstemons each year to make more sales Probably to make you think you haven't got that particular one ..

Ha ha Amy. I know exactly what you mean with Penstemons. They are tricky to keep names for!

Thanks for all your comments and yes from Hayloft. They have similar double collections on offer at the moment but I really shouldn't be looking!!

wow. wow .. wow ... those are fabulous !

Thanks Terra.

I remember this flower from years ago when doing a garden over for an elderly person and asked about this plant that they said they had never planted so it had to have been bird dropped. Tried several to get it to grow for me but it never happened.
