Product description
Helleborus Christmas Carol, more commonly known as a Christmas Rose plant, are outdoor, winter flowering plants with deep green, leathery foliage which remains for most of the year. In mid-winter, around December beautiful, large, white flowers begin to bloom and continue until late winter or early spring, often flowering over the festive season.
These perennial plants will grow best in moist, well-drained soil in a partially shaded spot in the garden. They are perfect for planting in beds and borders, among other garden shrubs and roses, to add interest over the winter period, although they would look equally fabulous planted alone in a plant pot or container.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Helleborus thrives in shaded areas and blooms in late winter to early spring, adding colour when most plants are dormant. Trim old leaves in late winter to showcase flowers.
How to Water
Water Helleborus regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy, especially during dry spells. Once established, they are drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent watering in their first year.
How to Plant
Plant Helleborus in well-draining, humus-rich soil in partial to full shade. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the root ball and plant with the crown at soil level. Space plants 30-45cm apart and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
