Helleborus ‘HGC Ice N’ Roses Pink Promise’ (4.5-Litre Pot)

The Helleborus ‘HGC Ice N’ Roses Pink Promise’ is a premium quality bloom from the Helleborus Gold Collection. With masses of vibrant magenta pink edged flowers that fade to creamy pink at the centre and show its dusting of speckled red dots at the centre of each petal. Adding to the ornamental appeal of this hellebore are its sunny yellow stamen at the centre, which draws the eye in and has the added benefit of being attractive to a range of pollinators.

A charming hellebore that is reliable, robust and easy to grow, it makes a wonderful addition to any winter garden. Its masses of repeat flowering blooms hold their colour throughout its long flowering season, so you will enjoy admiring its vibrant hues right through to spring.

Part of the Helleborus Gold Collection (HGC), which is widely recognised as the best and most widely tested range of hellebores in the world, you have peace of mind that you will enjoy the beauty of these winter flowering blooms for many years to come. The Ice N’ Roses series from the HGC combines the Snow Rose, the Christmas Rose and the Lenton Rose to create highly floriferous, robust and reliable hellebores that thrive even in sunny areas of the garden and hold their perfectly formed blooms throughout its long flowering season.

The ‘HGC Ice N’ Roses Pink Promise’ has a wonderful mix of pink hues to admire, so looks particularly striking planted in groups. Alternatively plant this hellebore alongside Fescue, a slow-growing grass that will add contrasting texture, or grow it alongside a range of early flowering bulbs such as crocuses or narcissus for a colour-filled display.

To 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.
