    Pollinator Friendly

    Helleborus × hybridus ‘Mirabella’ (ViV Series) is a compact double-flowered hellebore bearing an abundance of candy-pink blooms, produced with exceptional generosity from winter through to spring. Despite its prolific flowering, the plant remains modest in stature — neat and well-suited to smaller gardens, containers, and the front of a shaded border.

    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.
