More information

This brand new hybrid hellebore is a compact, robust, very floriferous plant and really easy to grow in any climate and in any soil, even quite dry. Its large flowers bloom in shades of pink and white, more pink than white, with the pink lightening as you approach the yellow stamens. Well open and clearly visible, they bloom from December to April, on tough, toothed, dark green, slightly veined with white-cream, evergreen foliage. It is an excellent perennial garden plant that will live for many years without maintenance. It also grows very well in pots.

Description

The Hellebore Ice 'N' Roses Marbled Mindy Marble is an exceptional Christmas rose. It offers flowers in shades of pink and white, with dark green foliage marbled with cream-white, dentate and leathery. It is part of a series of recent hybrids, obtained in Germany and appearing in 2017, it combines all the qualities of its parents, among which we find H. corsicus, H. niger, and H. orientalis. Very robust, it is resistant to cold, heat, and rather dry soils in summer. It blooms for a long time, between December and April, with large flowers in intense colors, illuminated by yellow stamens. It produces up to 15 stems per plant, each developing several flowers on compact stems. This hellebore will live for many years in the garden, in all climates.

Hellebores belong to the Ranunculaceae family. Helleborus x glandorfensis Ice 'N' Roses® is a complex horticultural hybrid belonging to a series of Christmas roses developed in Germany, after many years of research and drastic selection. The flowers of the Ice 'N' Roses hellebores come in 3 colours: red, pink, and white.

Ice 'N' Roses Marbled Mindy Marble is a sturdy perennial, with remarkable longevity, fairly rapid growth, and vigorous vegetation, but sterile; its reproduction is only possible (and delicate) through division of clumps. It has a bushy habit, with a mature plant reaching 30cm (12in) in height and at least 50cm (20in) in spread. From December to March-April, brownish stems appear, not very tall, carrying pink buds that open into flowers with 5 petals in shades of pink and white, with a satin texture, 6-7cm (2-3in) wide, and beautiful yellow stamens in their centre. The evergreen foliage is composed of fairly leathery leaves, 10 to 30cm (4 to 12in) long, borne on brownish petioles. They are divided into 5 to 7 oval or lanceolate segments, strongly dentate, dark green with a satin finish, marbled with cream-white. This Hellebore is hardy down to -20°C (-4°F) and tolerates a wide range of varied soils, whether they are limestone or clay, humus-rich or sandy, constantly moist or even dry in summer.

This quite revolutionary hellebore is full of qualities. It should thrive in all our gardens, from the north to the south. From the first year, many flowers already appear on the plants. New flowers constantly form, creating a beautiful contrast between the opened and faded flowers. These flowers can be perfectly used in bouquets. It is also a good ground cover for partially shaded areas of the garden. Use hellebores like elements of an old tapestry, mixing them with woodland plants in brighter colours. They are well highlighted when planted near evergreen bushes of moderate size (Mahonia 'Apollo', Nandina 'Fire Power') and under conifers (especially in exposed windy sites). Surround them with primroses, wood anemones, Corydalis, Dicentras, cardamines, or spring-flowering bulbs, and snowdrops. You can also accompany them with ferns and shade-loving iris to create a beautiful contrast, a little later in the season. They can also be planted in groups, like a bouquet, near the entrance of the house, in a shaded location, to enjoy their early flowering up close. They are suitable for borders and containers. Over time, the flowers of the Hellebore do not wilt like the majority of other flowers, but dry up.

Planting and care

The Ice 'N' Roses Hellebore is not very demanding in terms of soil type: it tolerates limestone and fairly dry soils in summer, as well as clayey and cool soils. However, it particularly appreciates rich, rather heavy and well-worked soils. Plant it in partial light shade in fertile soil, enriched with leaf compost, kept moist to help it establish. Incorporate good compost at planting. Hellebores do not like stagnant water that can cause its roots to rot. Planting under the clear shade of large leafy trees is perfect. These perennials are easy to grow, but should not be stressed or disturbed. They are known to be homebodies: once well established, they do not like to be transplanted. Young plants can take 2 to 3 years to flower, sometimes longer, but afterwards, there will be no more problems. Over the weeks, their color darkens, but they do not wilt like most flowers, they rather dry out.

On a balcony or terrace, plant them in pots 4 to 5 times larger than them, as they need space to develop their root system. Very hardy, most hellebores can withstand negative temperatures down to -15°C (5°F) without suffering, allowing them to adapt to almost all regions.
