Helleborus niger 'Christmas Carol' is a Christmas rose with white winter flowers set against evergreen leaves. These larger plants in 17cm pots suit a shady border, woodland corner or a pair of substantial containers.
- Flowers: white, opening in winter
- Foliage: evergreen, keeping its leaves through the year
- Supplied as 2 plants, each in a 17cm pot, around 35cm tall
- Light: partial shade to shade
- Use: borders, woodland planting and pots
- Provides early nectar for bees on mild days
Plant in moist, well-drained soil improved with compost, keeping the crown at soil level. Hellebores settle best when left alone once planted, so choose a spot where they can stay for years. Water during dry weather in the first season and tidy older leaves in late winter. In a pot, use a loam-based compost and make sure water drains freely.
Supplied as young plants in growing pots, shipped directly from our partner growers. Plants are living products, so size and shape can vary slightly from the photo.
