Helleborus Winter Passion

Hellebore 'Winter Passion' (White) offers a serene and graceful presence in the winter garden. Its crisp white blooms, often delicately flushed with soft green or cream, appear from midwinter into early spring, lifting shaded borders or pots with quiet elegance. Bred for strong, upright stems and outward-facing flowers, it is both beautiful and resilient. Ideal for planting beneath deciduous trees or in containers near the house, where its subtle beauty can be admired up close. Evergreen foliage, deer resistance, and low maintenance make it a superb perennial for year-round interest.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:
Plant your Helleborus Winter Passion in early autumn or spring when the ground is workable. Avoid planting in frozen or waterlogged soil.

Where to Plant:
Choose a partially shaded spot — ideal under deciduous trees or at the edge of a woodland border. Hellebores thrive in well-drained, humus-rich soil and benefit from a sheltered location.

How to Plant:
Dig a hole deep enough to comfortably accommodate the roots. Position the crown (where the roots meet the stem) just at or slightly above soil level — do not bury it too deeply. Backfill with enriched soil and firm gently.

Depth & Spacing:
Set plants at soil level, spacing them about 40-45cm (16-18 inches) apart to allow room for mature growth and airflow.

Aftercare:
Keep the soil moist but not soggy during establishment. Mulch annually in autumn with leaf mould or compost to retain moisture and enrich the soil. Remove old leaves in late winter before new flowers emerge to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

Top Tip:
Helleborus Winter Passion will establish slowly but reward patience with beautiful, long-lasting winter blooms year after year. Ideal for naturalising in shady borders.
