Plant description
Large pale pink flowers with a distinctive picotee edge emerge from deep pink buds, bringing refined colour to the garden from mid-winter to early spring. The blooms are held above clump-forming, dark green foliage, making this perennial a standout choice for shaded borders or woodland settings.
Helleborus × hybridus 'Harvington Rebekah' thrives in humus-rich, well-drained soil, requiring minimal maintenance, once established, beyond removing faded flowers and damaged leaves.
Deer-resistant and long-flowering, it is perfect for adding winter interest to borders, patio containers, or as a feature in shaded planting schemes, combining elegance with reliable hardiness.

How to care for Helleborus × hybridus Harvington Rebekah:
Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to reduce/minimise the spread of any foliar diseases (such as hellebore leaf spot) if present.
Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring. Cut off the seed heads to prevent inferior seedlings colonising.
