Hellebores are also known as ‘The Christmas Rose’ as they flower around Christmas but they can flower right through until March.
This variety will do best outdoors either in a pot on a doorstep or patio or planted directly in the ground. Choose a spot out of direct sunlight where you can enjoy the winter flowers. You will probably find our winter rain provides plenty of water but if we do have a dry spell give your hellebore a drink – you are always aiming to keep the soil damp.
After flowering your Hellebore can be re-potted in a larger pot with suitable compost and put outside on a patio or balcony or it can be planted out in the garden in the spring. Hellebores like semi shade and a damp but well drained spot and often work well in the shade of larger shrubs or trees.
Over time your hellebore can grow into a sizeable bush producing pretty flowers in the depths of winter. Once established they are very hardy and will continue to flower even when snow is on the ground.
Problem solving:
Old foliage and spent flowers should be removed to keep the plant healthy, especially indoors and in a pot. Don’t be surprised if your plant doesn’t look too bushy in the summer months when it is resting – it will soon come back with plenty more growth and flowers in the autumn and winter.
