Helleborus x hybridus ‘Double Ellen Purple’ is sure to bring an inspirational touch to the garden during the winter whilst most other plants slumber. From January to May large, purple, double, cup-shaped flowers are produced with a dainty appearance that seems to defy nature by surviving the cold and often peeking out through the winter snow. The glossy, dark green, evergreen foliage further highlights the true 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 x hybridus ‘Double Ellen Purple’ is deer and rabbit resistant and beneficial to early pollinators. Plants prefer to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in full or partial shade. Growing to a height and spread of approximately 35cm, Helleborus are fully hardy perennials, so you can enjoy them in containers or borders year after year.
