Hellebores 15
With their wealth of beautiful flowers at a time of year when little else seems awake, hellebores are a delight and an ideal choice for providing winter interest. We offer a range of premium botanical species, Christmas Rose, Snow Rose and Lenten Rose varieties. Some hellebore varieties will start to flower as early as November and will withstand severe cold and snow whilst other varieties will bloom in late winter and continue flowering well into spring. As well as a long flowering period, these perennial plants have attractive seed heads which make them ideal for cutting. They provide fantastic form and thrive in shadier parts of the garden.
-
Where is the best place to grow hellebores?
Plant hellebores in moist but well drained soil. They prefer full or partial shade in the middle of the border or under shrubs and trees.
-
Can I plant hellebores in containers?
Yes. Hellebores can be planted in containers, either alone or mixed with other winter and spring flowering plants. They are invaluable for providing colour and interest during the darker, colder months.
-
Should I remove hellebore leaves?
To prevent any build-up of fungal spores from the black spot that they are prone to it is a good idea to chop the old leaves off right to the ground just before the flower buds appear in late winter.
