Description

A welcome late winter to early spring lift of floral beauty for your garden - cherish the big blooms of Hellebore 'Double Ellen'.

Double blooms, each ruffled, speckled, and coloured in different variations decorate this perennial collection. Brighten the garden as others are slumbering. These Hellebore even make excellent accompaniments to spring bulbs, flowering from February to April. Despite appearing delicate and dainty, the flowers are actually tough and hardy to withstand the weather - come rain, snow, or shine!

These cup-shaped blooms even provide a valuable source of nectar to any early pollinators buzzing around the garden. So easy to grow, establishing slowly into small clumps and increasing in number year after year, with displays potentially expanding upwards of 50 flowers after five years or so.

'Double Ellen' thrive in rich, well-drained soil in dappled shade, with preferred soil conditions that are humus-rich and moist. They can also be grown in pots if space is limited, just don't let them dry out in the summer heat.

Supplied as a mix of 10 jumbo plug plants, ready to pot or plant out.

Top Tips
  • Remove the old leaves in late winter or early spring as the flower buds emerge so that the flowers can be seen.
Care Information
  • Plant in rich, well-drained soil in dappled shade and provide shelter from strong, cold winds.
  • Plants are not happy if left in very dry or waterlogged soil so incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter into the planting hole along with some horticultural grit if the soil is heavy.
  • Water regularly during dry spells and mulch annually with leaf mould, chipped bark, or other organic matter in autumn.

Planting Plugs:

  • Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
  • Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
  • Put them somewhere warm, light, and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • Plant straight into containers and grow on for a week or two before placing out.
  • Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
