Description
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 root ball 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.

Useful information
-
Soak the Helleborus 'Double Ellen Pink' 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.
