HELLEBORUS SEEDS

Helleborus niger

PR02457 CHRISTMAS ROSE
Hellebore Seeds

Helleborus niger

The 12-18 inch plants produce beautiful nodding, saucer-shaped, creamy-white blooms with yellow anthers above handsome and lustrous dark green divided leaves. Wonderful when massed under high branching trees, against north or east walls, or in shaded borders. Combines well with Hostas and Bergenias. Needs moisture, shade and alkaline soil (add lime if your soil is acidic). Seed can be sown outdoors in late fall or indoors anytime when pre-chilled in the refrigerator. Instructions are included on the seed packets. Although germination is erratic over a period of 5-18 months, your patience will be rewarded with distinctive and long lived perennials that will be more vigorous than nursery grown stock and will cost you only a fraction of the price. Not recommended for hot climates. Winter hardy to zone 3.

Sorry, this item is out of stock.

How to Plant HELLEBORE Seeds
Sow seed in 3 inch container, place inside a zip-lock bag. Keep at 70° F. for 2 weeks. Then place in the refrigerator for 4 weeks. Next, sink pots in a shady location, covering with glass or plastic; remove covering when seedlings emerge. Germination is spread out over a period of 5-18 months.
Comments: Christmas Rose needs shade, and moist, rich, well-drained, alkaline soil. Feed once or twice a year. Do not disturb hellebores in the garden, older plants resent transplanting. Deer resistant.
