Helleborus Snowbells

  • Semi Double Blooms
  • Very Early Blooming
  • Blooms for 6+ Weeks
Homeowner Tips

Hellebores are enjoyable to grow because they are low-maintenance and disease/pest-free. Simply trim back last year’s foliage in the spring. They can adapt to almost any growing conditions. Though they prefer rich, moist, organic soil, they will also grow in sandy or clay soil. They can even tolerate short periods of drought. The soil pH can range anywhere from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. Hellebores are shade plants that need to be protected from the hot afternoon sun. They will grow in full shade under large deciduous trees as long as they receive full sun from winter to spring before the trees get their leaves. To increase the number of hellebores in your garden, mulch them heavily in the fall. The new seedlings will grow in this mulch come spring and can then be transplanted elsewhere in the garden. WARNING: Hellebores are poisonous. Do not consume any part of the plant!

(Christmas Rose) One of the most flower filled Helleborus I have ever seen is ‘Snowbells’ Christmas Rose.  Hardy in zones 4-9, this early spring bloomer adds a flurry of blooms to the garden. The semi double, crisp white blooms measure 2.5- 3 inches across and are outward-facing. Helleborus niger blooms up to 4 weeks earlier in the season than other Helleborus. Depending on where you live you could see blooms as early as Christmas. ‘Snowbells’ Christmas Rose stands 10-12 inches tall and spreads up to 12-14 inches wide. Planted in full sun to part shade locations, they prefer average to fertile soil with average to low needs once established. This deer and rabbit resistant perennial is a great addition to woodland shade gardens as well as in container designs. This drought-tolerant, easy to grow perennial can often be found as a border plant or planted in mass for a spectacular display of early color. Enjoy up to 6 weeks of blooms with Helleborus ‘Snowbells’.
