Delicate pale pink flowers with softly spotted interiors and yellow centres add charm to late winter and early spring displays.
Helleborus × hybridus 'Pretty Ellen Pink' carries its beautiful flowers on upright stems above dense, leathery, dark green foliage. This semi-evergreen, clump-forming perennial thrives in partially shaded borders or woodland settings, creating year-round interest and pairing well with other early-flowering plants.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, it’s perfect for adding colour and texture to the garden when few other plants are in bloom, forming slowly expanding clumps that naturalise beautifully over time.
'Pretty Ellen Pink' is a reliable choice for seasonal interest, especially for those gardens visited by deer or rabbits.

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 reduce/minimise the spread of any 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.
