Helleborus x hybridus Mixed Colours

A semi-evergreen clump-forming perennial with divided glossy, green leaves. The flowers come in a huge range shades of white, green, purple and pink, spotted and unspotted, and also black. We grow colour strains from known parent plants but you are more likely to get what you want if you buy it in flower. Feb-Apr. H45cm S45cm.

Care Instructions

Thrives in neutral to alkaline soils that are moist, fertile and humus-rich. Partial shade is ideal but can tolerate full sun. Provide shelter from strong, cold winds. Mulch annually in autumn. Relatively easy to grow but may be slow to establish. Cut off the old leaves in January before the flowers emerge. This shows off the flowers to best effect and fresh, new leaves quickly emerge as the flowers fade.

• Harmful if eaten/skin irritant
