Hellebore - Something Lovely in The Middle of Winter

I thought you might like to see my Hellebore. I went into the garden this morning and there it was looking just beautiful in the morning sunshine.

 Just what you need to see on a winters day.

  • How lovely! Helebores are the first to make an appearance in my garden and I love them so much I have many different varieties - but none like this one!

  • Hello hellebore fans,

    you're just at the right time to have a go at breeding some new hellebores, so why not have a look at our project and have a go!

    I love my hellebores too. A special one was a gift from my son shortly before he died, his favourite he said. I have given seedlings from it  to other family members for them to cherish.

  • HI everyone

    Have been considering planting some hellibores as I see they can grow in shade - do you think they would grow in dry shade eg under laurels? my garden centre had a lot for sale today so was very tempted......

    Garden yesterday so snapped them for you to see.

  • Happymarion they are just lovely. My Hellebores haven't been in long, I have got one growing in a pot in the back garden, it is full of buds so I'm just waiting for them to open and then I will photograph them. They are so beautiful and delicate.

    Ive looked in my garden centre and cant find Hellebores at all.  Are they out yet? I wanted one for the bees as a larder in those coming out of hibernation months.

     

    Thank you.

    Problem with garden centres is that they often don't display them till they're in flower. Have you had a look on the net? RHS plant finder can be very helpful.
