An elegant, double hellebore with a creamy, yellow centre contrasting dramatically against deep-plum red petals. Helleborus x hybridus ‘Double Ellen Red’ brings jewel-like blooms which hover above dark, leathery leaves - sure to delight all who happen to pass by during late winter and early spring. Furthermore, these make excellent cut flowers – floating on a bowl of water as a table decoration or cut with long stems to join other blooms in a vase or bouquet. Hellebores provide a rich source of nectar for solitary bees, whose awakening from hibernation coincides neatly with the blooming of these winter flowers in January tthrough to May. We are not the only ones pleased to see them! Helleborus x hybridus ‘Double Ellen Red’ is a fully hardy (H7), semi-evergreen, clump forming plant, which loves a semi-shaded or shaded spot underneath a tree or shrub and thrives in moist, well-drained soil of any kind except sand based. Deer and rabbit resistant, it has an eventual height and spread of approximately 35cm. Cut back the large leaves of the previous year once new foliage and flowers start to appear in order to appreciate at their best.
