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

The Helleborus ‘HGC Winter Ballet Kacy’ is a truly striking bicolour winter flower from the premium quality Helleborus Gold Collection (HGC). The Winter Ballet series from the HGC 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.

Highly floriferous and reliably repeat flowering throughout the winter season, the ‘Kacy’ hellebore has magnificent burgundy and white flowers, that are topped off with golden yellow stamen. This creates truly stunning and eye-catching winter displays to admire and enjoy through until spring. In addition to its wonderful flowers, it also has glossy green healthy foliage that perfectly frames the blooms throughout its flowering season. Coupled with a robust and reliable nature it makes ‘HGC Winter Ballet Kacy’ a delightful addition to any garden.

Perfect for growing in pots and containers to create stunning entrances and patio areas or add to beds and borders mixed with other plants such as grasses for a wonderful mix of textures. Alternatively plant it with vibrant contrasting shades such as Muscari or Winter Aconite for additional colour during the colder months.

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.
