Helleborus x hybridus ‘Metallic Lady’ (lenten rose / hellebore) was £6.99 now £3.49
Position: partial shade Soil: heavy, neutral to alkaline soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: February to April Hardiness: fully hardy (borderline) Dark purple-blue petals with a soft metallic sheen are accentuated by the boss of golden stamens that they surround. Long after these beautiful, brooding flowers have faded, the deeply lobed, dark green leaves will continue to provide structural interest. 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.
