Bright winter colour comes naturally with these upright stems and lime green flowers that stand out when the rest of the garden slows, forming a steady clump of durable foliage that returns each year without fuss. The slightly nodding blooms keep a clean, even tone as they mature that fits well in shaded borders or beneath deciduous trees.

These lentern roses handle cold, wet spells while growing best in moist, well-drained soil with protection from strong sun. Once established they cope with brief dry periods, and a quick trim of older leaves before the buds rise keeps the display fresh. Helleborus × hybridus Single Green offers reliable winter interest and brings calm structure to quiet, shaded canopies and corners.


  • 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.
    • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant
