The Gardener's Notepad
'Merlin' has performed very well, and is a favorite of mine because of it's dark colored flowers and foliage and overall compact habit. True, the leaves are smaller, but it doesn't end up looking lanky. So far I have not seen a Helleborus that I didn't like, but this one is pretty good.
