Helleborus Collection -18 Winter Blooming Hellebore Plants
Availability: Out of stock
Hellebores are easy to grow plants that thrive in partial or even full shade. They make excellent plants to use around the base of shrubs and trees to provide valuable and intriguing winter interest with their diverse variety of flower colours and forms. The good thing about these plants is that they will be coming in to bloom when conditions can be at their bleakest!
Generally starting as early as December, they'll bloom all the way through to Spring, even in the hardest conditions of January and February, when you may expect to see them pushing up their flowers through snow!
This collection has been specially selected to give you a lucky dip selection of plants, selected at random from the following varieties:
Orientalis
The oriental Hellebore starts blooming in February and continues in to Spring, with a wide colour range and even double flowering kinds appearing, they're a diverse group and look stunning when in full bloom when little else is flowering.
Purple Marble
Compact, clump-forming, evergreen perennial with cream-marbled, blue-green leaves and clusters of nodding, bowl-shaped, purple-flushed, pale-green from mid-winter to mid-spring. An enchanting plant, it can be admired at close range indoors as a pot plant in a cool room during winter or grown out of doors.
argutifolius - Corsican Hellebore
One of our favourite Hellebores, argutifolius has sturdy-stemmed clusters of cup-shaped, pendent greenish-white flowers held above a handsomely foliated, evergreen plant. The leathery leaves are deep green and have roughly serrated edges. A very popular hellebore thanks to its tough constitution, the Corsican Hellebore will make a real statement in a mix planting of other plants and shrubs, or can even be displayed on its own thanks to the architectural nature of the plant itself.
Silver Lace
Hellebore 'Silver Lace' is a sturdy plant, with clusters of apple-green flowers that appear in late winter and early spring. This terrific selection has leathery evergreen foliage of pewter-silver, overlaid with a network of green veins. Perfect in a woodland setting or shrubbery for ground cover with partial shade, or a brighter aspect too.

Sternii
Purple-tinted, creamy-green, bowl-shaped flowers from February to April and pinkish-purple leaves. These beautiful hellebores look great planted in groups towards the front of a mixed border in sun or partial shade. One of the most eye-catching varieties of hellebore.
niger - White Hellebore
