Tell Me More…
In late March, hellebores offer a rare beauty which appears just when needed most. Their delicate, vibrant blooms emerge in the stillness of the barren early spring garden, transforming shaded corners into serene retreats. Unlike more demanding plants, hellebores thrive on simplicity. Their evergreen foliage endures through most of the seasons, adding quiet structure and depth to the garden. Whilst their sumptuous flowers are exquisite, their real brilliance lies in their resilience. Resistant to pests and indifferent to neglect, they ask for little yet give much in return. With hellebores, the garden feels fuller, more alive, as though you have planted not just flowers, but strength and renewal.
