Hellebore 'Guess' | Helleborus Guess - Height 20-30cm Width 20-30cm - 2lt

Helleborus, commonly known as hellebore or Lenten rose, is an evergreen perennial with a bushy, clump-forming habit. The foliage is leathery and deeply divided, typically dark green, providing year-round structural interest in the garden. Flowering occurs from late winter through to early spring, with nodding, cup-shaped blooms held above the foliage on sturdy stems. Flower colour varies depending on the plant but often ranges through shades of white, pink, purple or green, sometimes with speckled or picotee markings on the petals. The flowers persist for several weeks, offering colour during a period when little else is in bloom. This hellebore provides an important early nectar source for pollinators such as bees emerging on mild winter and early spring days, supporting biodiversity when other forage is scarce. It is well suited to shady positions beneath deciduous trees or shrubs, where it benefits from the dappled light and shelter. It performs well in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, including clay-based soils, making it a useful choice for woodland-style borders or shaded areas of the garden where other flowering perennials may struggle.
