Known as the 'winter rose', hellebores are winter gems in the flower garden. They thrive on neglect over the summer months and reward you with an abundance of gorgeous blooms over winter and spring. Available in a variety of colours.  

​

Hardy hellebores are cold and frost tolerant and prefer a nice shady spot with good drainage and fertile soil. Under a tree or shrub is the perfect planting spot for this perennial flower.  They can be grown in full sun, however the leaf edges will turn brown with increased heat.  Hellebores look lovely in native gardens and will happily grow in containers, where they can be moved around to protect from the sun as needed.

 

The large, glossy, green leaves come up each season and die back leaving the flower stems on show in winter.
