Helleborus: Elegant Winter Blooms
Helleborus is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants in the family Ranunculaceae, native to Europe and parts of western Asia. Commonly known as hellebores, these plants are particularly valued for their ability to flower from mid-winter to early spring, bringing structure and colour to the garden at a time when few other perennials are active. Flowers appear in a broad palette of colours, including white, green, pink, purple, and near-black, often held above robust, evergreen foliage.
Helleborus species perform best in partial shade and in well-drained, humus-rich soils, closely reflecting their natural woodland conditions. Once established, they are long-lived, cold-hardy, and require minimal maintenance, making them a dependable choice for both private gardens and professional planting schemes. The range offered at Coolplants includes interspecies hybrids, Helleborus niger, and Helleborus orientalis, supplied as healthy, well-established plants selected for garden performance and reliability.
