Helleborus x hybridus 'Pink Lady' (lenten rose / hellebore)

Helleborus x hybridus ‘Pink Lady’ (lenten rose / hellebore) was £3.49 now £2.99
Position: partial shade Soil: heavy, neutral to alkaline soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: February to April Other features: all parts of the plant cause severe discomfort if ingested; the sap may cause skin irritation Hardiness: fully hardy (borderline) Perfectly suited to the woodland floor, where it will offer seasonal diversity when used in conjunction with hostas and ferns, the pendent or outward-facing flowers of this hybrid Lenten rose are a very pretty shade of pink. Garden care: Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring. Cut off the seed heads to prevent inferior seedlings colonising.
