Hellebores

(Helleborus sp)

These are the winter skylarkers, prancing and bouncing about when the winter sun is low and loving.

Size 45cmh x 45cmw.

Aspect Summer shade, winter sun.

Climate Cold, cool to temperate.

Soil Well drained and slightly acidic.

Food Slow-release fertiliser as you plant.

Water Keep moist in spring/autumn. They are dormant in summer.

Care Trim foliage after flowers fade in spring.

If you can, put colourful winter plants near windows so you can appreciate and love them from indoors

HAVE A BALL! Hellebores are shallow rooted, so plant them under deciduous trees or shrubs for summer shade and groundcover – then get excited when the flowers come out for a mid-winter party!
