Plant description
Dramatic spiny foliage in striking slate-blue tones emerges boldly from the winter garden, creating an architectural presence even before its remarkable flowers unfurl.
Helleborus × nigercors 'The Rockies Grand Teton' captivates with sumptuous burgundy blooms that contrast brilliantly against the unusual foliage colouration, each flower showcasing vivid yellow reflexive anthers that create a fascinating, and deer-resistant focal point in shady borders.
This exceptional hellebore hybrid maintains its ornamental value long after flowering, with the impressive blooms persisting for weeks rather than days, gradually developing subtle colour shifts that extend seasonal interest.
Perfect for transforming challenging north-facing sites or woodland gardens, this robust performer combines the early blooming characteristics of Helleborus niger with the resilience and interesting foliage of Helleborus argutifolius.
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 × nigercors The Rockies Grand Teton:
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.
