Helleborus orientalis, commonly called Winter Rose, is a winter-flowering staple in the cottage garden, hellebores produce large clusters of saucer-shaped flowers with white, pink, green, mauve or smoky purple flowers. The large leathery, evergreen leaves persist throughout the year but should be cut back in the spring when flowers and new foliage emerge.
Happiest in semi-shade and humus rich well drained soil. Eventually forms a large clump and will really stand out in the winter garden.
