Hellebores bear clusters of saucer-shaped flowers in shades of white, pink, green, mauve or purple. The evergreen leaves persist throughout the year but should be cut back in spring when flowers and new foliage emerge. Hellebores and self-seed readily.

Helleborus x hybridus bears nodding or outward-facing, saucer-shaped, flowers from February onwards. It's perfect for growing in large clumps, particularly beneath trees in shady borders.

For best results, grow Helleborus x hybridus in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade. All parts of the plant may cause serious discomfort if ingested and the sap may irritate the skin. Like all hellebores, Helleborus x hybridus dislike being moved once established, so should not be divided. Given the right conditions, it will self-seed quite sufficiently to provide replacements.
