Helleborus orientalis 'Double Ellen Mixture' - 2026

Helleborus orientalis 'Double Ellen Mixture' is a bushy, deciduous perennial that produces large, double, bowl-shaped flowers in a mix of white, pink, red, and purple from February to April. These blooms are borne on sturdy, upright stems above leathery, dark green foliage, creating a striking display in the garden. The plant's fine-textured appearance makes it an excellent choice for borders, woodland gardens, and as a filler in floral arrangements. Its compact size and extended flowering period provide both structure and seasonal colour.

Preferring part shade and moist, well-drained soils, 'Double Ellen Mixture' is hardy in a variety of climates and can tolerate dry conditions once established. Regular watering during dry spells and occasional division every few years will help maintain its vigour. Its resilience and low-maintenance nature make it a reliable and attractive addition to any garden, offering long-lasting colour and ecological benefits for pollinators.
