How To Grow
Excellent pest and disease resistance
Varieties from the Helleborus Gold Collection® are largely resistant to pests and diseases, but may occasionally be affected by aphids (on young plants) slugs and snails. Blackspot (Coniothyrium hellebori), is the most widely occurring fungal disease that can affect hellebores. To avoid fungal diseases, space the plants well to allow good air circulation and make sure to provide the hellebores with good drainage as waterlogging tends to encourage the occurrence of these fungi.
Water regularly
Helleborus are generally very robust and hardy perennials. Established plants have a large root system that will get them through drier periods well. However, once the plants begin to droop, they will need to be watered in order to enjoy flowering again next winter.
Full sun to partial shade
Christmas Roses and x lemperii prefer a partially shaded to shaded place that protects them from the midday sun in the summer. The mild winter sun doesn't bother them, which means that deciduous shrubs or trees are perfect neighbours for them. In contrast, Snow Roses also tolerate a sunnier place. If planted in the right spot, hellebores will last for decades.
Any fertile, well drained soil, particularly chalk
Hellebores are long-lived perennials. If they like the place where they have been put, they will stay there for many years. All varieties from the Helleborus Gold Collection® prefer rich and chalky soils, but will also thrive in other locations that are not prone to waterlogging.
Feed from the second year onwards
Hellebore plants do not require any fertiliser in their first spring. Feed older plants from February onwards and apply a second dressing of fertiliser in midsummer, when the plants grow new roots and initiate flower buds for the next season. If the plants suffer from lime deficiency, the soil can be improved by working in Dolomite lime or crushed eggshells.

Excellent delivery and service
Well, the delivery was spot on, the tree looks healthy enough for a sleeping plant, although at the moment most of the branches are on one side of the trunk which in itself is bent banana-style. quite wonky. One can only hope that it grows into a fruitful plant with some character?

Nice sized tree in good condition
Time will tell on the quality of the product (bare-root apple trees), but the stems that arrived seemed in great condition and very well packaged so no damage in transit. Looking forward to Spring!

Ms Arlene Bocking
Lovely tree
So happy with my purchase of my Braeburn Hillwell apple tree from Roots Plants. It arrived promptly, well packaged and in a good, healthy condition. I soaked it for an hour before planting and it's doing well. Looking forward to our home grown apples, in time.
Ms Arlene Bocking
It has picked up now and is growing well
It arrived in a heat wave and looked a little bit sorry for itself when planted out but it has picked up now and is growing well.
David Osborne
Good service all round
Arrived on time as the seller said it would and the courier gave me a time slot to track my parcel. It came well packaged and was of good quality for this time of year. It looks a good and healthy tree and will be planted up in a few weeks after the ground has been prepared. I’m pleased with my purchase.
