Helleborus 'HGC Liah' (3 litre pot)

Helleborus 'HGC Liah' is a beautiful evergreen perennial from the premium quality Helleborus Gold Collection (HGC) and is available in a 3 litre pot.

This beautiful hellebore is classed as a traditional Lenten Rose that blooms from January (and into the season of Lent) until the end of April. It is robust and reliable to grow and will happily flourish through harsh winters and warm summers, just remember to keep it watered during dry periods.

It has deeply lobed dark green leaves which provide good coverage during colder months and it can withstand extreme cold and snow and produces large saucer-like bright pink flowers.

This stunning and long-lived hellebore thrives in borders, pots or containers. Ideally suited to the front of an evergreen border where you can enjoy pretty blooms when most flowers in the garden have disappeared. If you don't have a garden, try planting it in a pot at an entrance instead.
