Heavenly Hellebores.
Hellebores bring colour and beauty into the garden even on the coldest and darkest days of winter. They love a shady spot so are ideal it you want some interest in a hidden corner. Mine started to flower before Christmas but will be at their best in March. They don’t make good cut flowers until they are fully matured with their seed pots starting to form and last much better with some sort of water source. I love them in an early spring arrangement and they are a welcome addition to a late winter funeral wreath with their texture, subtle colours and delicate tracery. They are a tricky flower, so difficult to find commercially, but are available from local, artisan flower farmers like myself. They come in colours such as whites, palest to dusky pinks, lime, and dark mauves.
They are a truly beautiful addition to any garden.
