This hellebore has been bred especially for indoor blooms in the run up to Christmas. Commonly called the "Christmas Rose", previous versions have never reliably flowered for the Christmas period. Thanks to specific growing techniques and breakthrough breeding, we now have a hellebore that flowers for up to 4-6 weeks from late November. When you receive it, the plant can be potted into your own decorative pot and enjoyed inside, or planted outside, Ideally in a well-drained container.
