The Hellebore Gift
- Nothing shouts out joy in winter more than a hellebore, with its charming nodding blooms and lush evergreen foliage. With hellebores coming in a range of hues, including white, red and pink, there's something for everyone.
- Symbolising both resilience and serenity, hellebores are as beautiful as they are tough, which is pretty darn tough! Their elegant flowers are sure to add a touch of light and love in even the bleakest of winter days.
- Our hellebores are incredibly hardy and have been bred for improved disease resistance, and all of our hellebores are from the prestigious Helleborus Gold Collection, so you know you're getting quality.
- Your hellebore gift plant will arrive wrapped in a tactile hessian bag, tied with a stylish bow, and then packaged into one of our premium cardboard gift boxes. We've even thrown in a little care card for good measure!
- Perfect for a partially-shaded spot in the garden, plant this hellebore in moist but well-drained soil, watering it during hot, dry spells. If growing in a container, you'll need to water more regularly.

Will this grow in my garden?
Can I grow this in a pot?
Hellebores can be grown successfully in pots, making them perfect for adding winter interest to a patio, as long as they are planted in a deep container to accommodate their roots.
How big does it get?
The Hellebore typically grows to a height and spread of around 40 to 60 centimetres.
How much sunlight does this need?
The Hellebore prefers a position in partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for underplanting trees or shrubs.
What kind of soil does this plant prefer?
Hellebores prefer rich, moisture-retentive, and well-drained soil, often thriving in heavy clay soils that have been improved with organic matter.
How much watering does this plant need?
The Hellebore needs consistent moisture, so water it deeply once a week, especially during prolonged dry periods in spring and summer.
Will this plant need pruning?
The Hellebore benefits from having its old, tattered leaves removed in late winter or early spring just as the new flower stems begin to emerge.
How hardy is this plant?
Hellebores typically hold an RHS hardiness rating of H7, meaning they are fully hardy down to -20°C and below. They will easily withstand the harshest UK winters, though they dislike sitting in overly wet, cold soil.
