Helleborus hybridus Double Pink

Helleborus x hybridus Double Pink is an elegant variety with double flowers, with petals tinted in pale pink and flesh pink.

Originally from northwest Turkey to the Caucasus, northeastern Greece, the Oriental Hellebore is a perennial plant that will brighten up the shaded areas of your garden in winter. It is a hardy plant that can withstand temperatures down to -15°C (5°F) 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.

The Oriental Hellebore reaches a height of 40 cm (16in) at maturity and spreads over 30 cm (12in). Between February and April, a bouquet of single, cup-shaped and inclined flowers, 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, forms. Hellebore is a bushy plant which does not like to be moved once established, as the young plants take some time to flower.

It is suitable as cut flowers and in borders, edges, or containers. Over time, the flowers of the Hellebore do not fade like the majority of other flowers but dry out instead.

Each seed-sown Hellebore has a unique flower colour: thus slight colour variations may exist between two plants, which is normal and unavoidable. If, however, the difference is too significant and spoils the desired effect, we refund or replace the affected plant.
