First sold in the UK in 2009, Helleborus Walberton's Rosemary has become a firm favourite. From December through the depths of winter and into spring, it produces masses of outward-facing, dusty pink blooms that stand above its dark, semi-evergreen foliage.
Bred by David Tristram of Walberton's Nurseries and named after his wife Rosemary, it is a cross of H. niger × H. hybridus and is sterile, so it will not seed around. Best grown in humus-rich soil in a sheltered location in sun to partial shade — the ideal choice for underplanting shrubs and trees, or for adding a much-needed burst of winter colour to borders.
Height × Spread: 35cm × 60cm

Care Guide
Remove any damaged or diseased leaves in autumn. As flower buds begin to develop — typically from late December — remove the remaining foliage entirely. This improves the display and helps prevent hellebore leaf spot. Mulch around the base with organic matter after removing the leaves. In spring, remove the old flowering stems.
