The gorgeously, frilled petals of Helleborus x hybridus ‘Double Ellen White Spotted’ promise to bring a froth of summery delight into your listless winter garden. In fact, these exquisite double blooms epitomise why hellebores deserve to be affectionately nicknamed the ‘Lenten Rose’. Lifting a bobbing flower, you will be entranced by the delicate maroon flecks sprinkled across the frothy double layer of milky-white flounces. Framed by glossy evergreen leaves, these luscious blooms will nod daintily under your trees or shrubs between January and May, cheerily reminding you winter is nearly over. While deer and rabbit resistant, these nectar-rich plants are extremely attractive to pollinators - don’t be surprised if a sleepy bumble bee or two makes an appearance in your garden. Perfect for shady areas of your garden, these fully hardy perennials will appreciate any moist, well-drained soil apart from sand based. Growing as a bushy clump, ‘Double Ellen White Spotted’ will mature in 2-5 years, reaching a maximum height and spread of around 35cm.
