How To Grow
Excellent pest and disease resistance
Varieties from the Helleborus Gold Collection® are largely resistant to pests and diseases, but may occasionally be affected by aphids (on young plants) slugs and snails. Blackspot (Coniothyrium hellebori), is the most widely occurring fungal disease that can affect hellebores. To avoid fungal diseases, space the plants well to allow good air circulation and make sure to provide the hellebores with good drainage as waterlogging tends to encourage the occurrence of these fungi.
Water regularly
Helleborus are generally very robust and hardy perennials. Established plants have a large root system that will get them through drier periods well. However, once the plants begin to droop, they will need to be watered in order to enjoy flowering again next winter.
Full sun to partial shade
Christmas Roses and x lemperii prefer a partially shaded to shaded place that protects them from the midday sun in the summer. The mild winter sun doesn't bother them, which means that deciduous shrubs or trees are perfect neighbours for them. In contrast, Snow Roses also tolerate a sunnier place. If planted in the right spot, hellebores will last for decades.
Any fertile, well drained soil, particularly chalk
Hellebores are long-lived perennials. If they like the place where they have been put, they will stay there for many years. All varieties from the Helleborus Gold Collection® prefer rich and chalky soils, but will also thrive in other locations that are not prone to waterlogging.
Feed from the second year onwards
Hellebore plants do not require any fertiliser in their first spring. Feed older plants from February onwards and apply a second dressing of fertiliser in midsummer, when the plants grow new roots and initiate flower buds for the next season. If the plants suffer from lime deficiency, the soil can be improved by working in Dolomite lime or crushed eggshells.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
