Helleborus 'Shotgun Wedding' is a lovely new seed strain from Walters Gardens with stunning double white and red bicolor flowers, where the central red spots are so prevalent, they give the visual effect of having a solid red center. Each 15" tall x 2' wide clump is topped with the floral show, starting for us in late February. Lenten roses are also a superb early season nectar plant for honeybees.

Maintenance:

Helleborus 'Shotgun Wedding' is a seed-grown, uniform selection of Helleborus x hybridus, all of which have identical growing conditions and maintenance needs.

As the flower stalks of Helleborus x hybridus arise just above the evergreen foliage in late winter, we prefer to remove the old foliage. This results in a much more attractive floral show, unobscured by the old leaves, which are likely tattered from the winter weather. Removing the foliage too early can allow the ground to warm around the plant, often speeding up the floral show.

While lenten rose flower stalks can freeze solid and return to form when the weather warms, they are limited in the number of times they can recover, so longer the ground stays cool around the plant, the better the floral show. Once hellebore flower stalks rise above the foliage and the flowers show color, the old leaves serve no purpose. Do not, however, remove all the foliage at any other time during the growing season since it will most likely kill your plant.

Growing Conditions:

Helleborus x hybridus need well drained soils to survive. They can tolerate irrigated beds as long as the soil doesn't become waterlogged. Lenten roses are amazingly drought resistant, and while they may not look great during extended dry spells, they almost always survive. The perform well in both slightly acidic and slightly alkaline soils.

Most lenten roses are prolific re-seeders, and as such, can take over a significant section of garden if allowed to re-seed for too many consecutive years. Since they do not reproduce true to color from seed, you may wish to remove the seed before they mature, which is usually starts in late April/early May. In the garden, seedlings that are allowed to drop typically flower in 5-6 years.

Garden Value:

Lenten roses have incredible garden value, primarily for their amazing winter floral show. We also find them incredibly valuable as winter evergreen groundcovers in woodland gardens which can often be quite drab in winter.

Natural Impacts:

Lenten roses are extremely valuable for providing nectar for honeybees, who forage when daytime winter temperatures exceed 55 degrees F.

Nomenclature:

Nurseries who don't know the plants they sell, often list Helleborus x hybridus as Helleborus orientalis. That species only has dirty white flowers, and I'd be willing to bet that any nursery offering plants under that name (other than small hellebore specialist), is selling Helleborus x hybridus. Helleborus x hybridus plants primarily contain the genes of many species, including Helleborus virdis, purpurescens, atrorubens, croaticus, and orientalis.

Makes fantastic, not bitter, non-acidic coffee
This little carafe makes really great coffee for someone who likes a mild tasting non-bitter, non-acidic taste. This little carafe is well designed and easy to use. Filter is easy to clean once I realized that the bottom screws off for easy cleaning😉. I usually fill the filter with 4 tbs of ground coffee then attach to the carafe and fill with water. The carafe brews sitting out on the counter or in the fridge. I keep the cold brewed coffee in another jar in the refrigerator so the carafe is free to brew more insuring that I never run out of delicious coffee for my daily homemade iced coffee. I never buy expensive coffees out anymore. I don't even feel tempted to buy one out because the coffee I make at home now is far better than anything my local cafe's offer. Now I laugh at all the chumps in line at Starbucks waiting to pay $7 for overly strong, bitter coffee. Not today, Satan!

Awesome for Cold Brew Coffee and Tea!
I love this pitcher! I make Cold Brew Coffee to have Ice Coffee in the mornings. I just used it this last weekend to make Cold Brew Iced Tea.Both taste great!! It is a glass pitcher with a non-slip bottom. It came very well packaged, in a plastic bag that was wrapped in foam all the way around, and put into a cardboard box. The filter seems very good quality. I put the grounds in it and the add water to the pitcher. I stir once in the middle of brewing in the fridge (recommended in the instructions). When it's done, I keep the lid on and just twist to turn it just off to the side of the spout, and it pours out just fine. (Doing it this way is also stated in the instructions. Doing it this way will definitely keep grounds out of your drink with NO problem! ) I really like this pitcher. It is super easy to clean. And I Brew it starting late morning/ afternoon, letting it sit over night, so it's ready in the morning. I expect it to last years, given the quality! But if my kids or husband ever broke it (since it is glass), I wouldn't hesitate to buy another!! It is definitely a GREAT buy for the money!

Easy to use and clean, good quality, but..
I've used this a few times to make cold brew coffee at home and it works for that purpose. However I have found some downsides to doing it this way which I will discuss below. I like the base on this because it keeps the pitcher from sliding and protects the glass as well. The lid fits nicely and keeps the pitcher sealed. The mesh filter has worked so far for the course grinds required for cold brew and is very easy to empty and clean, especially with the removable bottom cap. However, going by the ratio as instructed by this product of grinds to water (and all that it can fit in the filter), it doesn't make a concentrate but an already diluted, ready to drink cold brew. Due to this, I'd prefer to have a larger capacity brewer so that my batch could last longer (as a concentrate would). You can still add some cream or ice or water if you'd like, but it isn't making a concentrate as if you were using a 1:4 or 1:6 ratio. However its slim design does make it convenient if you don't have much space to keep it in the fridge for as long as you'd like to be using it. The downside I've found to making cold brew this way aside from the size to make the amount I'd prefer at a time for concentrate is.. There is not an easy, convenient way to squeeze the rest of your cold brew out of the grinds that have soaked it up. I use a tea towel or cheese cloth to squeeze it out after dumping them from the filter, but it is a bit messy and time consuming and I feel I still don't get it all. For this reason I would prefer doing cold brew with a French press.

STELLAR Customer Service!
I only used mine about 10 times, and then the top somehow got stuck. I'm not that strong, so I don't know how it happened. Now I can't get it off and it renders it useless. There are no instructions that say whether it tightens to the right or left, so I don't know which way to direct my efforts. It seems to just get tighter no matter the direction I work it. UPDATE: The company immediately replied and offered to send me a new one, even though I bought it 2 years ago. This is excellent customer service! This brewer really makes life easier. Just don't screw the lid on too tight. It makes great cold brew, ready in the fridge when you want it. It cleans up so easily too!
