Early flowers
Hellebores are among the plants Alan looks forward to seeing flower early in the year, bringing welcome interest when relatively little else is blooming.
9 different hellebores
Create a colourful winter-to-spring display with nine different hellebores, chosen to give you a varied collection without the work of selecting plants one by one. Plant them through borders or use them in pots and containers for welcome colour early in the gardening year.
Nine different hellebores supplied in 9cm pots. Exact varieties may vary – confirm substitution wording before publishing.
What you can create
Hellebores come into their own at a time when the garden can be short of colour. Plant this collection together for a dedicated hellebore display or spread the nine plants through borders and containers to bring interest to different parts of the garden.

Inside your collection
We’ve done the choosing for you. Your collection contains nine different hellebores, giving you a mixture of plants rather than nine identical ones.
Mixed – nine different hellebores. Exact varieties not supplied
Early-season flowering interest
A collection of nine different hellebores selected to give you variety across the display, with different flowers providing interest through winter into spring.
Your complete collection
Instead of trying to choose individual hellebores yourself, this collection gives you nine different plants selected together at the nursery. Decide where you want to enjoy them, then plant them as a group or spread them around the garden.
Plant varieties may occasionally be substituted where necessary. Any substitute will be selected to perform the same role and work equally well within the collection.
Why this collection works
The idea is simple: nine different hellebores give you a more varied display while keeping their growing requirements and garden uses compatible.
The collection is chosen to provide a mixture of flower colours and forms, giving you more variation than planting a single hellebore repeatedly.
Hellebores provide winter-to-spring interest, helping bring colour into the garden before many later-flowering plants get going.
Their foliage gives the plants a substantial presence around their flowering display.
Plant the collection through a border, beneath suitable deciduous shrubs and trees, or use containers to enjoy the plants where you see them regularly.
Chosen at the nursery
Alan chose hellebores because they flower at a particularly valuable time of year. By supplying nine different plants, the collection makes it much easier to build a varied hellebore display without having to select nine individual plants yourself.
Designed for
This is a flexible collection for gardeners who want early-season flowers and the freedom to plant in borders or containers.
Spread the plants through an existing border or bring them together to create a dedicated hellebore area.
9 different plants
Ideal for refreshing containers on patios, terraces and near garden seating areas.
Recommended
The collection is suitable from semi-shade to full sun.
Flexible planting
Plant from early through late autumn or in spring, depending on when you receive and want to establish your collection.
Two useful planting periods
Choose a position that suits hellebores and gives you a good view of their early flowers. Particularly recommended for borders, beneath deciduous shrubs and trees, and shady parts of the garden.
Plan your planting
You have nine individual plants to work with, so you can create one larger display or divide them between several containers and areas of the garden.
Supplied size
All nine hellebores are supplied as established plants in individual 9cm pots.
Mature height
Height will vary between varieties with 30cm being the average.
Mature spread
40cm is average between varieties, will vary slightly between each variety.
Container size
Ideal container size per plant or a large container for more.
Our recommendation
For borders, think about the finished plants rather than the size of their 9cm nursery pots when spacing them. For containers, 30-45cm is ideal for each plant.
