Description
A winter-flowering staple in the cottage garden, hellebores produce large clusters of saucer-shaped flowers. The large leathery, evergreen leaves persist throughout the year but should be cut back in the spring when flowers and new foliage emerge.
Helleborus orientalis bears outward-facing, saucer-shaped, flowers, in white, pink, green, primrose, mauve or smoky purple, from February onwards. It’s perfect for growing in large clumps, particularly beneath trees in shady borders.
