Hellebore Double Ellen Purple will bring a magical touch to the garden during the winter whilst your other plants lie dormant. Every winter, large, purple, double, cup-shaped flowers are produced with a dainty appearance which seems to defy nature by peeking out through the winter snow. The glossy dark evergreen foliage highlights the beauty of the dappled flower. The Cornish refer to Helleborus plants as "The Virgin's Mantle". In Medieval times they were said to be good for breaking bad spells and curses so were often planted next to the front door. Today they are known for their unsurpassed winter beauty. Helleborus Double Ellen Purple is deer and rabbit resistant, preferring to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in dappled shade. Growing to a height and spread of approximately 35cm, Helleborus are fully hardy and perennial, so you can enjoy them in containers or borders year after year.
