Plant description
With its striking, cup-shaped blooms in a rich blend of white, pink, and burgundy, this perennial brings a burst of colour to winter gardens. The delicate flowers, featuring intricate speckling and veining, appear above dark green, leathery foliage that remains attractive year-round.
Helleborus × hybridus 'Painted Bunting' thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soil with consistent moisture, providing reliable colour from late winter to early spring.
Deer-resistant and low-maintenance once established, it needs only occasional occasional tidying of faded flowers and damaged leaves. Ideal for woodland gardens, winter borders, or patio containers.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Helleborus × hybridus Painted Bunting (Glamour Series):
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.

Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
