Helleborus orientalis Details

Helleborus orientalis, commonly known as Hellebore or Lenten Rose, is highly valued for its showy and colourful flowers. It bears showy flowers that are coloured pink-mauve through winter and spring. These are held on upright stems above the dark green, lush foliage. This herbaceous perennial grows as a clump to about 60 cm tall and the same wide, growing best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It has a root system that enables it to regrow again in spring if cold conditions or frost kill off the foliage. Helleborus orientalis is an ideal plant for cottage or tropical gardens, for mixed plantings, border plantings, or planting to provide winter colour. A mass planting provides a truly impressive display.
