Helleborus hybridus double red

Originally from northwest Turkey to the Caucasus, northeast Greece, the Double Red Oriental Hellebore is a perennial that brightens up shaded areas of your garden in winter. It is a hardy plant that can withstand temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F) with spreading palmate, slightly toothed, dark green and shiny basal evergreen leaves, 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) long, composed of 7 to 9 leaflets.

The Oriental Hellebore reaches a height of 40 cm (16in) at maturity and spreads out to 30 cm (12in). From January to March, a bouquet of double, cup-shaped and inclined flowers forms, 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter The Hellebore is a bushy plant that does not like to be moved once established, with young shoots taking some time to bloom.

This toxic plant should be handled with care. It is suitable as cut flowers and in borders, beds or even containers,... Over time, Hellebore flowers do not fade like the majority of other flowers but dry up.

Each seed-sown Hellebore has a unique flower colour: thus slight variations in colours can exist between two plants, which is normal and inevitable. However, if the difference is too significant and distorts the desired effect, we will refund or replace the affected plant.
