Helleborus x hybridus 'Pretty Ellen Red' is a striking perennial that stands from the crowd. Producing vibrant, deep red flowers from late winter to early spring, it provides a bold splash of colour when most other plants are still dormant. The eye-catching flowers are characterized by their nodding, cup-shape and prominent yellow stamens. Perfect as cut flowers for a vase or bouquet - floating blooms make fabulous seasonal decorations for the table too. Happy grown in either a container, or border, plants will naturalise and are sought after by early pollinators as a valuable source of sustaining nectar. Admired for its beauty, hardiness and low maintenance, Helleborus thrive in shaded to partially shaded locations, in north, east and west facing aspects. Preferring well-drained, humus-rich soil and drought-tolerant when established, gardeners appreciate Helleborus for their deer resistance and the longevity of the blooms, which can last for several weeks even in inclement weather. Additionally, the evergreen foliage of this cultivar ensures year-round interest in the garden. Overall, 'Pretty Ellen Red' is a versatile and attractive addition to any garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and durability.
