Helleborus orientalis February
('Hellebore or Lenten Rose') The Helleborus orientalis ( Hellebore ) is one of the showier of the family of Hellebores. Whilst it flowers tend to hang down, many like this one is quite happy to face up to life. The helleborus is a great hardy perennial for colour at this time of year, and is relatively simple to grow. Part sun or dappled shade - but happy almost anywhere. They are happiest in a heavy, neutral to alkaline soil, and benefit from a mulch of leaf mould annually in the autumn. Does just as well in shade as in sun.
