Helleborus Walberton's Rosemary ('Walhero') (PBR)
Lenten rose hellebore
A free-flowering perennial for late winter and early spring, Helleborus ‘Walberton's Rosemary’ produces a profusion of white-veined, star-shaped pink flowers over a very long period. If left undisturbed in the border, the semi-evergreen, five-lobed foliage will form dense, slowly expanding clumps that will carpet the ground. An excellent choice for partial shade.
How to care for Helleborus Walberton's Rosemary ('Walhero') (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.
