Helleborus (Christmas Roses)

We grow a wide selection of Helleborus orientalis from our own seed, collected from lovely varieties we have collected over the years and grow in our garden. We have some beauties including varieties from Blackthorn Nursery, David Russell and lately many from Rodney Davey. As they are, on the whole, open pollinated we offer them unflowered as Helleborus orientalis, a mix that can contain anything from singles through anemone centred flowers to full doubles in virtually any colour currently available. Later after they have flowered, we place them in coloured categories as we can be then be certain what colour they are. If you are interested in particular coloured Hellebores that you may not see listed then just contact us and we can discuss the batches we have growing.

    Helleborus niger. Christmas Rose. This is the Hellebore that is so associated with Christmas and Christmas cards, though it rarely flowers before January and is usually later still. However, the flowers are still lovely, charming wide open pure white waxy blooms with bright yellow centres carried mostly singly on stiff upright stems. Long lasting flowers to cheer the depths of Winter. They are not the easiest of plants, but a little knowledge can help you to site them well. They are plants of light woodland, with a requirement for shade and a dislike of acid soils and of poverty and drought. Give them a little lime and good humus content. Mulch annually, especially with mushroom compost and they will reward you. One last word of warning- you might like them on your Christams card and around your candle decoration, but voles love the buds for Christmas dinner. HARMFUL IF EATEN (except to voles!)

    Helleborus orientalis (Lenten Rose) – mixed colours

    £10.00

    Potsize - 2Ldeep

    Helleborus orientalis (Lenten Rose). Seed grown stock grown from our own seed, harvested from a wide selection of choice varieties collected over the last 20 years. They could be single, anemone centred or double in any colour. Pictures show a sample of the plants we collect seed from. These are unflowered plants. As they flower we will offer them as coloured varieties under the specified colour products. If you are looking for a particular colour that is not listed just ask and well see what we can do. Hellebores are so welcome as they bloom soon after Christmas at a time when flowers are so scarce. They come in such a wonderful variety of colour; whites through to pinks and blue-black purples, with some in shades of green and yellow. Many are beautifully spotted inside, but no two are ever identical. Nowadays there are a bewildering array of doubles to add to the mix. Anyone taking the time to stop and lift up a bloom is always well rewarded.
    Discount of 25p per plant when you buy 3 or more of any Hellebore

Dorset Perennials – plants direct from the heart of Dorset.

At Dorset Perennials you will find a husband and wife team, Dawn and Martin, who have been plantsmen and nurserymen for nearly 25 years. Our nursery, situated in the North of Dorset close to the Somerset border, is full of the plants we love. There’s no overall theme, just an eclectic mix of perennials that, for one reason or another, we consider well worth growing. We have plants for shade, plants for sun, plants for wildlife and a few more just because. In short all the perennials you would ever need to make a garden full of colour throughout the year and full of the plants you need to make it hum with wildlife. We’ve tried to make this website full of inspirational colour and easy to use. The shop page has a nifty plant selector sidebar which can be used to filter our plants by size, colour season and so forth to help you quickly pin down the right plant for a particular spot. We’ve added picture pages showing plant associations to inspire you, or if you need a little advice just give us a call.
