Oriental Hellebore Anemone Apricot, with its charming delicate yellow-orange flowers, is a true delight in the heart of winter. We also love their beautifully adorned centre with matching ruffles. This additional collar composed of small tubular petals has earned the hybrids in this category the name of anemone-flowered hellebores. This robust and very hardy perennial can be grown in borders and under shrub beds or mixed borders, and in pots. Easy to grow, even in heavy soil, it will thrive in shade or non-burning sun.
Originally from Greece, Turkey, and the central and eastern Caucasus, the Oriental Hellebore, sometimes called Lenten Rose, is a perennial plant of the buttercup family that readily hybridizes with other species to give hybrids with very varied colours and shapes, so much so that no variety names are given to these hybrids anymore. They are distinguished by shape and colour characteristics.
The Oriental Hellebore is a hardy plant that tolerates temperatures down to -15°C, naturally growing in forests, thickets, and clearings up to 2,000 m (7ft) altitude. The Apricot Anemone form has a compact and leafy clump of 40 cm (16in) in all directions with palmate, slightly toothed, dark green and shiny, evergreen basal leaves, 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) long, composed of 7 to 9 leaflets. They only live for 8 months and are regularly replaced by new leaves.
Between February and April, a bouquet of simple, cup-shaped and inclined flowers, 4 to 5 cm (2in) in diameter, forms with a collar of petals in the centre, characteristic of this group of hybrids. They are inclined downwards, allowing water to slide off like an umbrella to protect the heart of the flower from rotting. The Hellebore is a bushy plant. It does not like to be moved once established, with young shoots taking a little time to flower. The seeds are sown by ants.
Use hellebores as elements of an ancient tapestry, mixing them with brightly coloured woodland plants. They are highlighted when planted near Pieris, small-sized rhododendrons, under conifers (especially on wind-exposed sites), and surrounded by primroses, wood anemones, corydalis, dicentras, cardamines, or spring-flowering bulbs and snowdrops. You can also accompany them with ferns and shade irises to create a beautiful contrast a little later in the season. They can be planted in groups near the entrance of the house, in a shaded situation, to enjoy their early flowering up close. They are suitable as cut flowers and in borders, edges, or containers. Over time, Hellebore flowers do not wilt like the majority of other flowers but dry up.
Each seed-sown Hellebore has a unique flower colour: thus slight variations in colours may exist between two plants, which is normal and inevitable. However, if the difference is too significant and alters the desired effect, we will refund or replace the affected plant.

Botanical data
Oriental Hellebore Anemone Apricot grows in any acidic, rich, light or clay soil, in partial or light shade, sheltered from cold winds. Particular care should be taken to avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours. This perennial should be planted from early autumn to spring, between February and April. It thrives in deeply worked soil mixed with organic matter. Use bone meal or another organic fertilizer to feed. Water well after planting and add a layer of mulch 2 to 5 cm (1 to 2in) thick. Make sure to plant them at a distance of 30 to 40cm (12 to 16in) from each other to promote their development. Hellebore does not tolerate stagnant water, as it can cause rotting.
The crowns should not completely dry out in summer. Hellebores can be affected by a fungal disease transmitted by aphids, called black spot disease. Remove old leaves from deciduous species or stained leaves from evergreen species when flower buds appear. Remove faded flowers after seeding. They can also suffer from grey rot or die from collar rot due to poor growing conditions, in excessively wet situations.
On a balcony or terrace, plant them in pots 4 to 5 times larger than the plants, as they need space to develop their root system. Most hellebores can withstand temperatures down to -15°C (5°F) without suffering, allowing them to adapt to almost all regions.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

It will vary according to where you live:
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
