Description

A welcome sight during the winter and spring with beautifully rich flowers.

Luscious, reddish-purple flowers with pale creamy yellow centres add a much needed splash of colour to the winter garden. Each one is 3-5cm across, and incredibly tough whatever the weather!

A hardy perennial with flowers from February - April, rising up to 35cm above leathery evergreen leaves.

Incredibly simple to grow, hellebores will slowly establish into small clumps, thiving in lower light and shady spots. They can be grown in pots too, provided they do not dry out in summer.

Supplied in a 9cm pot, ready for you to plant out.

Top Tips
Remove old leaves as the flower buds emerge so that the flowers can be admired.
Care Information
  • Plant in rich, well-drained soil in dappled shade and provide shelter from strong, cold winds.
  • Plants are not happy if left in very dry or waterlogged soil so incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter into the planting hole along with some horticultural grit if the soil is heavy.
  • Water regularly during dry spells and mulch annually with leaf mould, chipped bark or other organic matter in autumn.
  • Delivery Information

    Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

    We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched.
