Helleborus niger 'Christmas Carol' is a Christmas rose with white flowers that appear in winter over evergreen foliage. This pair is ideal for lighting up a shady border or a pair of matching containers.
- Flowers: white, opening in winter
- Foliage: evergreen, so it stays attractive all year
- Supplied as 2 plants, each in a 14cm pot, around 30cm tall
- Light: partial shade to shade
- Use: borders, woodland planting and pots
- Provides early nectar for bees on mild days
Plant in moist, well-drained soil enriched with compost, with the crown level with the surface. Hellebores prefer to be left undisturbed, so pick a spot where they can stay. Water in dry spells during the first year, and cut away worn older leaves in late winter so the blooms stand out. In containers, use a loam-based compost and good drainage.
Supplied as young plants in growing pots, shipped directly from our partner growers. Plants are living products, so size and shape can vary slightly from the photo.
