Helleborus hybridus Double Queen Strain Selaginella this specimen hosta is toppedAn interesting name, but I'm not sure if I've ever met one either in the literal, figurative, or royal sense. Nonetheless, this double flowered strain of hybrid lenten rose is based on the work of Elizabeth Strangman of the UK. While some catalogs report this strain as 100% true, we're betting this claim is a typical catalog exaggeration. This deer resistant strain does report a very good range of double flowers in colors from yellows to pinks.
