Product Description
Helleborus Niger Christmas Rose produces pretty, large bowl shaped flowers in brilliant white against dark green leathery leaves. Despite its name and resembling the wild rose Hellebores niger (Christmas Rose) is a member of the buttercup family rather than the Rosaceae. This cottage garden plant is highly prized as it flowers throughout the darkest winter months, from December to March. A great flower to have in a winter border, it can be a useful addition to a winter bouquet. Classed as semi-evergreen as the leaves tend to die back after flowering in the first year after planting. First grade loose roots supplied.

Growing at a glance…
They can be grown in groups to help create a very effective cluster of winter flowering plants. Once planted they should not be disturbed. Although Helleborus are evergreen they often lose their foliage in the first year. Upon arrival plant out straight away in fertile, well drained and moist soil. You can plant them at 45cm apart, in either full sun or in partial shade. If potting up, use John Innes Compost.
