At its centre it has vibrant yellow stamen that add a pop of colour to admire throughout its long flowering season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to its wonderful star-like flowers, this hellebore has an abundance of glossy dark green foliage with a subtle marbled effect running throughout. This highlights the beauty of the flowers and acts as a wonderful contrast helping the blooms to standout in garden displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wonderful benefit of Snow Rose Hellebores is that they combine a robust and reliable nature, with excellent resistance to frost and snow, with the ability to flourish in positions of full sun. So, you have added peace of mind that this Snow Rose will thrive all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry planting your ‘Shooting Star’ Hellebore in a pot or container combined with Skimmia or Muehlenbeckia for added interest on patio areas or to create elegant and eye-catching entrances. Or add clusters of hellebores to create dazzling displays in your beds and borders, with plenty of flowers to admire through to spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo get the best display of Hellebore blooms, dig a hole at least double the size of the root ball. Immerse the potted root ball in a bucket of water before planting and wait for the bubbles to stop rising to the surface. Then loosen the soil around the hole and position the Hellebore, lightly covering it with soil. Once planted create a small circular ridge in the soil around the blooms to aid water retention. Ensure that your Hellebore doesn’t dry out, but don’t over water it either. You will then enjoy this floral delight, that returns year after year and lasts for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 2-Litre Pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower colour: Creamy rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen\/Deciduous: Evergreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoliage colour: Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Full Sun, partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil type: Fertile, moist and well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil pH: Neutral, Alkaline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness: Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowering period: December, January, February, March, April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant height (Approximate): up to 45cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gates Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56082357092677,"sku":"1212672","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7458\/1061\/files\/a83f4e7e-hellebore-HGC-Shooting-Star-in-bloom.jpg?v=1761657722","url":"https:\/\/www.gatesgardencentre.co.uk\/products\/helleborus-hgc-shooting-star","provider":"Gates Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
