YouGarden Hellebore 'Double Ellen', Set of 10 Mixed Jumbo Plug Plants, Winter and Spring Flowering, Ready to Pot or Plant Out
Product details
Product information
Draw the eye with the winter to spring flowering prowess of Hellebore 'Double Ellen'. A mix of big, ruffled, and speckled double blooms, each unique, as these have come from seed. Perfect for brightening the garden while others are still slumbering, they will also make a great accompaniment to spring bulbs, and although they are dainty to look at, they are incredibly tough whatever the weather. Their cup-shaped blooms provide a valuable nectar source for early pollinators and are a favourite with bees. You will get a stunning mix of colours, many with speckles and darker edges to the petals. With flowers from February to April they are a must for every spring garden! So easy to grow, they will slowly establish into small clumps, increasing in number year after year - it is not uncommon to have upwards of 50 flowers after around five years. They will thrive out of direct sun, as they prefer to grow in rich, well-drained soil in dappled shade. Hellebores are essentially a woodland plant, so love soil that is humus-rich and moist. They can also be grown in pots if space is limited, provided they do not dry out in summer. Supplied as a mix of 10 jumbo plug plants, ready to pot or plant out.
