Helleborus Orientalis Double Pinks
In stock
Description
A true harbinger of spring, Helleborus orientalis 'Double Pinks' bring a touch of delicacy to the winter-weary garden. Its nodding, fully double blooms—blushed in soft to rich pink—emerge from evergreen clumps of leathery, divided foliage. Blooming from late winter into early spring, this long-lived perennial offers subtle drama when little else is in flower. Equally at home in woodland borders, under deciduous shrubs, or naturalised in dappled shade, it's as dependable as it is beautiful.
Sowing Advice
Sow these seeds IMMEDIATELY you receive them, WHENEVER THIS MAY BE! They need SEVERAL MONTHS in damp compost, (NOT DRY IN A FRIDGE) before they will germinate as the season naturally warms, usually between January and March in the Northern Hemisphere, regardless of when they are sown. Keep the seed tray in a cold place, and check every few weeks. They are COLD germinators! Never, ever, use any artificial heat as this will prevent them from germinating, and ultimately kill them! Keep ungerminated seed pots for at least two years!
