Cool and fresh

-

The white Christmas rose ( Helleborus niger) is the star of this pot, so simply plant it with complement­ary evergreens to really give it a chance to shine. Here we’ve used a plain green ivy combined with golden variegated foliage to create the perfect trio. This pot will suit a sheltered, shady spot and will act as a focal point. Pick off the flowers as they start to fade to keep the pot looking fresh.
