Helleborus hybridus Special Pink

Helleborus x hybridus Special Pink is a lovely variety with somewhat unusual colours. The flowers are composed of pale fuchsia pink petals and apricot orange petals, resulting in a dominant shade of peach and salmon.

Native to northwestern Turkey, the Caucasus, and northeastern Greece, Oriental Hellebore is a perennial plant that will brighten up the shaded areas of your garden in winter. It is a hardy plant that can withstand temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F) with palmate, slightly toothed, dark green and glossy, evergreen basal leaves, 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) long, composed of 7 to 9 leaflets.

The Oriental Hellebore reaches a height of 50 cm (20in) at maturity and spreads up to 30 cm (12in). Between February and April, a bouquet of single, cup-shaped and inclined flowers with a diameter of 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) forms. Hellebore is a bushy plant which does not like to be moved once established, as the young plants take some time to bloom.

It is suitable as cut flowers and in flower beds, borders, or even in pots. Hellebore flowers do not wilt over time like the majority of other flowers but dry out beautifully instead.

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