Description

Helleborus 'Double Ellen Green' is a hybrid Lenten rose that brings a refreshing twist to the typical garden bloom. With its double, fresh green flowers, this hellebore offers a unique and sophisticated addition to your garden, especially when most plants are still in hibernation. The soft green petals, gently overlapping in intricate layers, bring a subtle yet elegant touch. Helleborus 'Double Ellen Green' is a perfect choice for those looking to add a bit of quiet charm to their spring garden, where the clean, green hues are a welcome contrast to the usual floral colours.

This hardy perennial thrives in those tricky, low-light areas where other plants might struggle. Helleborus × hybridus 'Double Ellen Green' is ideal for planting in pots, woodland gardens or shady borders. Once established, it blooms reliably from late winter through early spring, offering long-lasting interest even as the colder months linger. Its evergreen foliage keeps the garden looking lush year-round, even when the flowers have faded. Whether you’re new to gardening or a seasoned expert, Helleborus 'Double Ellen Green' will impress with its understated beauty and easy-going nature, making it an ideal choice for adding a touch of elegance and resilience to your outdoor space.

Useful information

- Soak the Helleborus 'Double Ellen Green' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
- Plant your "Hybrid Lenten rose" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
- Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
- Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
