Exquisite flowers that brighten shady garden spots in late winter and early spring. Each bloom features multiple layers of pristine petals, creating a lush almost frilly appearance that resembles delicate roses. Perfect for borders and containers, neat clumps of glossy, dark green foliage create the perfect backdrop and remains evergreen in most winters, adding a touch of elegance and purity. The ‘Double Delights Helleborus Collection’ comprises; orientalis ‘Double Red with White Edge’ – height and spread 40cm; orientalis ‘Double White’ – height and spread 45cm; and x hybridus ‘Double Ellen White Spotted’ – height and spread 35cm. Thriving in partial to full shade and preferring moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil, Helleborus are well-suited for woodland gardens and shaded areas under trees. Valued not only for their beauty, but also for their resilience and low-maintenance nature, Helleborus are fully hardy, deer-resistant and generally resistant to pests and diseases.
