Heavenly hellebores 

Buy the collection of three (one of each) for £21 – saving £21 

In late March, hellebores flower a rare beauty that appears just when it is needed. Their delicate, vibrant blooms emerge in the stillness of the barren early spring garden, transforming shaded corners into serene retreats. Unlike more demanding plants, hellebores thrive on simplicity.

Their evergreen foliage endures through most seasons, adding quiet structure and depth to the garden. Although their sumptuous flowers are exquisite, their real brilliance lies in their resilience.

Resistant to pests and indifferent to neglect, they ask for little yet give much in return. With hellebores, the garden feels fuller, more alive, as though you have planted not just flowers, but strength and renewal.

Rich, burgundy-coloured blooms stand out against the shadows, bringing warmth to your garden’s colder corners. Hardy and resilient, it will flower you a dependable presence, breathing life into areas where many plants remain dormant.
