A Christmas rose not only by name - the warm glow from the enticing purple-red petals of your Helleborus orientalis 'Anemone Red' will suffuse your winter garden with the drama of its more commonly used name.Lift up a bowl-shaped flower and the bewitchingly vivid shades of your hellebore will certainly pack a punch. Bright lemony-yellow stamens stand to attention in bright relief against a rich purple cushion of pleated petals - your Helleborus orientalis 'Anemone Red' is not a bloom to be ignored! Flowering vigorously from late-winter to spring, these nectar-rich flowers will also tempt early bumble bees into your garden, keen to busily investigate your blooms' dipping heads. At home on the edge of a woodland, your hellebore will nestle contentedly in a semi-shaded spot under your trees or shrubs and thrive in moist, well-drained soil. Your luscious, blooms will also be rabbit and deer resistant. Steadfast, hardy and easy to please, these clumpy semi-evergreens will grow to a mature height and spread of 35cm. Equally impressive as cut flowers, the snipped flower heads of your Helleborus orientalis 'Anemone Red' will resemble mesmerising water lilies when you float these generous blooms in a bowl of water.
