Helleborus × Hybridus Harvington Yellow With Dark Eye | 2L Pot

One of our newest varieties. Position: partial shade Soil: heavy, neutral to alkaline soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: February to April Hardiness: frost hardy (may need protection in winter)The warming yellow flowers of this lovely variety are just what’s called for in the border in late winter and early spring. They will help to illuminate areas of dappled shade, where they will form a carpet at the feet of deciduous trees and shrubs. They can also be used to liven up and add seasonal colour to potted displays. Garden care: Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring. Cut off the seed heads to prevent inferior seedlings colonising.
