Flowering freely during some of the darkest months of the year, Helleborus × ballardiae ‘Camelot’ is a sun-tolerant hybrid with long-lasting, outwardly facing creamy-pink flowers held on red stems above handsome, rich green foliage.

Brightening up the winter borders or pots on your patio as early as December, the blooms fade to a coppery-blush which continue to look stunning alongside Heuchera, ornamental grasses, and early spring bulbs.

How to care for Helleborus × ballardiae HGC Camelot ('Coseh 940') (PBR):

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.
