Hellebores
We hand
pollinate all our own Hellebores, and as a result we have produced double and
anemone flowers.
There
are many variations in colour and patterns.

As
Hellebore flowers naturally hang downwards, one of our breeding aims, is to
improve the appearance of the petals outside colour and form.
To see
some of the improvements of our breeding programme, it can take a minimum of 3
years, to see the results.
Hellebores
are suitable for a shady spot, under the canopy of trees and shrubs. They like
most soils, but if planted on a sandy soil, compost must be added at planting
time, and during autumn in subsequent years.
Not
much aftercare is required, except in late Autumn/Winter, when you are able to
see new shoots beginning to appear, it is best to cut back the old rough leaves.
