The Helleborus Gold Collection (HBC) is widely recognised as the best and most widely tested range of hellebores in the world. So, you have peace of mind that you will enjoy the beauty of these winter flowering blooms for many years to come. The Winter Ballet series from the HBC 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 ‘HGC Winter Ballet Lola’ looks wonderful planted in baskets, pots and containers to elevate the appeal of entrances and patio areas with striking and graceful-looking flowers. Or combine it with grasses and other textured plants such as Hebe or Tiarella for a truly mesmerising display. For an eye-catching floral display grow it alongside blooms such as Muscari and Galanthus.

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.
