Your complete collection 

A ready-chosen collection of nine 

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.

Plants included 9 

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 

More interesting than nine identical plants 

The idea is simple: nine different hellebores give you a more varied display while keeping their growing requirements and garden uses compatible.

More interesting than nine identical plants 

Different flowers 

The collection is chosen to provide a mixture of flower colours and forms, giving you more variation than planting a single hellebore repeatedly.

Early-season interest 

Hellebores provide winter-to-spring interest, helping bring colour into the garden before many later-flowering plants get going.

Useful evergreen structure 

Their foliage gives the plants a substantial presence around their flowering display.

Flexible planting 

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 

Nine plants selected with a purpose 

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

Is this hellebore collection right for you?

Garden borders 

Spread the plants through an existing border or bring them together to create a dedicated hellebore area.

9 different plants 

Patio containers

Ideal for refreshing containers on patios, terraces and near garden seating areas.

Recommended

A choice of positions 

The collection is suitable from semi-shade to full sun.

Flexible planting 

Autumn and spring 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 

Not sure where yours should go? 

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 

How much space will nine hellebores need? 

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.

How much space will nine hellebores need? 

Supplied size 

9cm pots 

All nine hellebores are supplied as established plants in individual 9cm pots.

Mature height 

Approximately 30cm 

Height will vary between varieties with 30cm being the average.

Mature spread 

Approximately 40cm 

40cm is average between varieties, will vary slightly between each variety.

Container size 

30-45cm

Ideal container size per plant or a large container for more.

Our recommendation

Give each plant room to establish 

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.

Alan's recommendation

Why I always look forward to hellebores 

Hellebores give you flowers at a time when there can be very little else happening in the garden.”

I chose this collection because hellebores are some of the first plants I look forward to flowering each year. When the garden is still waiting to get going, seeing those first hellebore flowers makes a real difference. 

I also wanted this to be a proper collection rather than simply sending nine of the same plant. You’ll receive nine different hellebores, so there’s more variety to enjoy. 

They’re straightforward plants to look after, and you can find a place for them in borders or containers. For me, they’re a very useful way of bringing interest into the garden early in the year. 

Flowers early  They provide welcome colour when relatively few other garden plants are flowering. 
Nine different plants  I like the variety you get from having nine different hellebores rather than repeating just one. 
Easy to enjoy  They’re straightforward to care for and can become a lasting part of your garden display.
