Lividus

Helleborus ‘Lividus’ bears heavily laden clusters of elegant, cup-shaped blooms with cream-green petals suffused by dusky pink. The evergreen foliage is equally attractive, with blue-green, serrated leaves overlaid by an elaborate web of silver veining. Thriving on slightly alkaline soils, this variety will benefit from some frost protection. Blooming from December to March, Hellebores provide an invaluable source of nectar to early-flying pollinators and are recognised by the RHS in their ‘Plants for Pollinators’ scheme. Watch with delight as bees giddily flit amongst the blooms on a sunny February day, before the rest of the garden has awoken.

Blanda Super Mixed
M5091
A superb mixture of the Anemone Blanda species. The latin epithet ‘blanda’ means ‘charming’ or ‘mild’, and these pretty petals are deserving of their name. A carpet of dainty, daisy-like flowers emerge in shades of soft blue, pink, and white. Lush, lacy foliage forms a weed-suppressing mat of marvellous groundcover. With an RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that these Anemones are first-rate performers. Admire these dinky gems up close in containers, dot amongst rockeries, edge pathways, and underplant trees for a woodland effect.

Unguicularis
M5661
A welcome sight in the depths of winter, Iris ‘Unguicularis’ generously provides beautiful flowers from November to March. With delicate petals like butterfly wings, the lavender-blue blooms flutter above lance-shaped, evergreen foliage. Brightening bare borders and containers, this variety delivers a dash of colour when it is needed most. The blooms radiate a soft, sweet scent – capitalise on this fragrance by positioning near frequented walkways. ‘Unguicularis’ is native to a dry climate and thrives in light, free-draining soil with a south-facing aspect. Snip the pretty, perfumed blooms as fresh cut flowers to relish some floral joy indoors during the winter months.

Orientalis White Spotted
M5505
A bashful little bloom, the faces of Helleborus ‘Orientalis White Spotted’ point modestly towards the ground. Gently lift the flowers up to reveal their astonishing, intricate beauty –double, frilled layers of alabaster petals are delicately stippled with burgundy freckles. These clusters of demure blooms are shown to advantage by glossy, serrated, evergreen foliage. The leathery, rabbit resistant leaves make excellent woodland ground cover. Blooming from December to March, the flowers are invaluable to early-season pollinators when other nectar sources are scarce, hence the RHS ranks Hellebores highly in their ‘Plants for Pollinators’ scheme.
