Helleborus orient. Hello Amber (14cm Pot)

Helleborus orientalis selections are cherished for flowering in late winter to early spring, bringing elegant blooms above leathery, semi-evergreen foliage when little else is in flower. Ideal for partially shaded borders, woodland-style plantings and underplanting shrubs, they thrive in fertile, humus-rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil, and cope with both clay and chalk. This compact Lenten rose is valuable for early-season interest and for supporting early pollinators, typically reaching around 3060cm at maturity.
