    'Golden Sunrise' features brilliant canary-yellow flowers with red veining and edging. 'Golden Sunrise' is a mixed strain so each plant has a variation of yellow and red flowers. While the 2- to 3-inch-diameter flowers are downward facing, the red coloration shows through the backs of the flowers, providing a colorful spark when viewed from above. Like all hellebores, 'Golden Sunrise' grows best in woodland areas, spreads readily, and can flower for up to 6 weeks. It's hardy in USDA zones 4 to 9.
