Helleborus × hybridus Harvington double yellow speckled
Lenten rose hellebore
Bright yellow, double, outward-facing flowers adorned with delicate red speckles bring a cheerful touch to winter and early spring gardens. These eye-catching blooms stand out against leathery, dark green foliage, offering texture and structure year-round in shaded borders or containers.
Helleborus × hybridus Harvington Double Yellow Speckled thrives in humus-rich, well-drained soil and blooms reliably from late winter. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance once established, it requires only the seasonal removal of faded flowers and damaged leaves.
Ideal for woodland gardens, patio planters, or winter displays, this hellebore combines bold colour with robust performance.

How to care for Helleborus × hybridus Harvington double yellow speckled:
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.
