Overview

Also known as Helleborus orientalis, this gorgeous perennial produces pretty, pendent or outward-facing, saucer-shaped flowers, which come in a wide range of colours. It is a bit of a lucky dip as to which flower each plant will produce, but they are all lovely, and they will all appear from February to April. They make attractive ground cover plants for areas of dappled shade under deciduous trees and shrubs and they prefer a heavy, neutral to alkaline soil. Unfortunately we can't guarantee what colour the flowers will be on each plant, but they are predominantly a range of pink shades.

  • Position: partial shade
  • Soil: heavy, neutral to alkaline soil

Care guide

Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring. Cut off the seed heads to prevent inferior seedlings colonising.

Warning

Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
