Plant description
Winter gardens burst into life with the arrival of deeply sumptuous, doubled blooms in rich maroon-red, each flower measuring an impressive 7cm (3in) across.
Helleborus × hybridus 'True Love' stands out dramatically among its relatives in the Wedding Party Series with its exceptionally vibrant colouration and luxurious petal count.
These magnificent lenten roses emerge triumphantly when most gardens slumber, providing crucial early-season nectar for emerging pollinators from late winter through mid-spring.
Particularly valuable for gardens in the north of the UK, this hellebore hybrid combines remarkable cold hardiness with deer resistance, gradually forming impressive clumps that return reliably year after year.

How to care for Helleborus × hybridus True Love (Wedding Party 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 get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot.
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.
