Helleborus ‘HGC Winter Ballet Cozy Red’ (2-Litre Pot)

Masses of large merlot and magenta-coloured flowers adorn the ‘HGC Winter Ballet Cozy Red’ from the premium quality Helleborus Gold Collection (HGC). A wonderful HGC Winter Ballet variety, the ‘Cozy Red’ combines the classic Christmas Rose with the Lenton Rose Hellebore to create brightly coloured, sizeable flowers that are perfect for adding long-lasting and early flowering interest to shady areas of the garden.

The incredibly opulent, rich merlot and magenta flowers on the 'Cozy Red' are topped off by its large golden stamen, adding vibrancy and contrast to shady areas of the garden. A wonderful added benefit of this hellebore is that it will retain its richness and depth of colour even as the blooms mature, so you can enjoy the incredible effect of these flowering in your garden displays right through to spring.

In addition to the breath-taking blooms, this hellebore has eye-catching healthy green foliage that highlights the beauty of the flowers throughout its long flowering season. With its masses of repeat flowering blooms, as well as robust and reliable growth, it is a joyful addition to any garden.

The ‘HGC Winter Ballet Cozy Red’ hellebore is a versatile bloom that will elevate the appeal of your outdoor space. Plant it in pots and containers to create a welcoming ambiance positioned next to your front door or to admire on a patio area. Grow it with grasses for contrasting texture or with vibrant winter flowers such as Muscari and Winter Aconite for a dazzling display in your beds, borders and shaded woodland areas.

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.
