Pollinator Friendly

Helleborus × hybridus ‘Lucrezia’ is a distinctive anemone-form hellebore, its yellow flowers concealing a second, inner ring of petals at the centre — an unusual and beautiful detail that rewards close inspection. The warm yellow tones contrast handsomely with the deep, glossy green of the foliage, bringing welcome colour to shaded borders and woodland edges from midwinter into early spring.

Fully hardy and long-lived, it performs best in partial shade in fertile, reasonably well-drained soil.

  • 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. When planting, dig a generous hole and incorporate leaf mould, well-rotted garden compost, or well-rotted manure. Plant at the same level as the pot. Allow plenty of space for the leaves to spread from the central crown. In late spring, remove spent flower stems to tidy the plant and prevent self-seeding
