Hellebores (or Lenten roses) make an excellent, thoughtful Mother's Day gift. They are popular because they bloom early in the season, and offer long-lasting, delicate flowers for gardens, patios and well lit window positions! They are considered a "gift that keeps on giving" because they return and grow stronger each year. Historically, hellebores were believed to ward off evil spirits, and were used in rituals, and are symbolic of peace and tranquility- exactly what every mum wants for Mothers Day!
