Helleborus niger Christmas Carol - White Hellebore in Bud & Bursting in to Bloom

Helleborus niger, also known as the Christmas Rose because it starts blooming in winter around the festive period is treasured for its pure white flowers with golden stamens that act as beacons of light in the garden during what are often the coldest months of the year. They'll even shrug off ice and snow!

Supplied in bud/bursting into flower, these Hellebores can be planted in the garden or patio planters to flower every year right when things are normally looking at their bleakest.

They can also be used indoors as a cheerful flowering pot plant before you move them outside - perfect as festive table decorations and to brighten up your home over the Christmas Holidays.

The wonderful white bowl-shaped flowers will keep going right up to April on established clumps, whilst the leathery, dark green leaves will remain all year. In former times hellebores were a part of folk-law and planted close to cottage doors to prevent evil spirits from crossing the threshold. Probably the earliest flowering garden plant every year, it's perfect for brightening the front of a partially shady mixed border.
