'Double Ellen Pink'
hybrid Lenten rose
Helleborus 'Double Ellen Pink' is a stunning hybrid Lenten rose that adds a touch of elegance to your garden, particularly in those shadowy corners where other plants may struggle to thrive. The double, frilly pink flowers are the real showstoppers, with each bloom opening like soft, layered petals, offering a sophisticated burst of colour during the colder months. Flowering in late winter to early spring, Helleborus 'Double Ellen Pink' provides a welcome splash of pink when most of your garden is still asleep, brightening up those dreary days with its cheerful hues.
Not only does Helleborus × hybridus 'Double Ellen Pink' provide beauty, but it’s also remarkably easy to grow, thriving in well-drained, shady spots where other plants may fail. Its leathery, dark green foliage creates a lush base, ensuring your garden remains attractive year-round, even once the flowers have faded. This hybrid Lenten rose is perfect for planting in woodland gardens, shaded borders, or beneath taller shrubs, where it adds both texture and colour without overwhelming the space. Helleborus 'Double Ellen Pink' is a low-maintenance gem that rewards you with long-lasting beauty and a bit of winter cheer, making it an excellent choice for any garden looking to make the most of its shady corners.
Our Helleborus 'Double Ellen Pink' plants are supplied as a 9cm pot with healthy growth, ensuring a strong start. They are carefully shipped in our unique cardboard box, designed to keep them safe and in top condition. This ensures they arrive healthy and ready to thrive in their new home.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
