General information about Hellebore (Helleborus):Hellebore (Helleborus) is a group of evergreen or deciduous perennials which flower late in winter or early spring. If the foliage has become ugly in the winter just cut it away as soon as the plant starts flowering. This will also show off the flowers much better. Hellebore wants a spot in the half shade in normal, well-draining, humus rich soil. A hand full of grit every year is appreciated if the soil is not alkaline. Most varieties of Hellebore are grown from seed and sometimes the colours might not come true. If Hellebore self-seeds in the garden you could end up with a whole range of variants. Combine Hellebore with other spring flowering plants such as Lungwort (Pulmonaria), Primrose (Primula), Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) and Onion (Allium). Also winter-green Sedge (Carex) and early sprouting ferns are a good mix. All varieties of Hellebore are poisonous.Christmas Rose - Helleborus niger
