Helleborus Orientalis Pink
M5504
Description
Striking saucer-shaped flowers in a variety of sweet, dusty pinks bloom from February to April on Helleborus ‘Orientalis Pink.’
This variety looks stunning teamed with deep berry and black toned Hellebores in a woodland border and is attractive to bees and early pollinators.
Sturdy stems grow up to 35cm tall, so plant Orientalis Pink where the flowers will be seen and appreciated, in a partly shaded area and in soil which is rich in leaf mould.
Deep green, leathery leaves provide year-round interest. It is advisable to prune the foliage back to its base when buds appear in late winter in order to help the flowers be more visible and to keep the plants in good health.
Care Guide
For flourishing Helleborus, choose a shaded area with well-composted, rich soil.
Plant between October and March with the crown just under the surface of the soil, spacing plants 30cm apart. Water in well and add a layer of leaf mould or compost around your plants.
Magical winter Hellebores produce elegant, cup-shaped blooms between December and March.
An annual mulch will feed Hellebores sufficiently for the season. At the same time, it is wise to remove the foliage from plants to reduce the chance of disease and ensure the enchanting blooms are seen and appreciated.
