Plant description
Flowering from late winter into early spring, this hardy perennial produces large, double white blooms with striking raspberry-pink veining and a delicate picotee edge. These long-lasting flowers emerge on sturdy stems above glossy, dark green, evergreen foliage, creating year-round interest in the garden.
Helleborus × hybridus 'Blushing Bridesmaid' thrives in dappled shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, borders, or under deciduous trees and shrubs. It boasts symmetrical, intricately detailed flowers that add elegance to shaded spaces.
This glamorous hybrid is low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and well-suited for naturalising, spreading gradually in moist, well-drained soil. Its early flowering habit ensures a welcome burst of colour at a time when little else is in bloom.

How to care for Helleborus × hybridus Blushing Bridesmaid (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. Cut off the seed heads to prevent inferior seedlings colonising.
