Hellebore Plants
Bright, cheerful, winter-flowering hellebores bring colour and light to the garden when it's most needed! Our grower is the official UK partner for the Helleborus Gold Collection, recognised as the best and most intensively tested range of Hellebores in the world. The Gold Collection includes Christmas Roses, Snow Roses, Helleborus x Lemperii and the exciting new Ice 'n' Roses varieties. Perennial hellebore plants are hardy and easy to care for, thriving in containers or borders and brightening up patios, balconies and terraces. Hellabore? Hella’ brilliant, more like!
Which hellebore?
There’s a wide assortment of hellebores out there to choose from. Two of our favourites include Christmas Roses and Snow Roses. Christmas Roses have delightful, bright white flowers and yolk yellow eyes, whilst Snow Roses offer up flowers in pink, purple, white and bicolours. Your hellebore will grow to a height of between 30cm and 60cm, and an eventual spread of up to 1m.
Planting schemes and partners
Hellebores are ideal for planting in pots on balconies and terraces, as part of a woodland border or for underplanting deciduous trees and shrubs. Hellebores pair especially well with forsythias (to provide summer shade), ferns and heucheras. They will also attract plenty of pollinators to your garden.
Growing tips
Where you plant your hellebore will depend on the variety in question. Typically, they like a partially shaded spot – e.g. the Christmas Rose. Other hellebores, though, like the Snow Rose, don't mind somewhere slightly sunnier. Hellebores don’t do extremes; they prefer a moist soil that drains well, and dislike soil that’s too dry or too wet. Water well while the plant establishes, and then occasionally thereafter to prevent your hellebore drying out. Feeding wise, apply a leaf mould mulch annually during early springtime or autumn. Apply a compost fertiliser twice yearly, once around February, then again in June.
