Helleborus ‘HGC® Ice N’ Roses® Picotee’ (Christmas Rose) – 2L Pot 

2. Introductory Paragraph

Helleborus ‘HGC® Ice N’ Roses® Picotee’ is a refined winter-flowering perennial, admired for its white blooms edged with soft pink that illuminate shaded garden areas from December through spring. This evergreen hellebore is exceptionally hardy, low maintenance, and ideal for borders, woodland planting, and containers.

3. Key Features

  • Elegant bicolour flowers in white with pink picotee edging

  • Long flowering season from December to April

  • Blooms age attractively to soft green tones

  • Evergreen foliage providing year-round structure

  • Very hardy (H7), tolerating extreme winter cold

  • Attractive to bees, supporting early-season wildlife

4. Product Description

Helleborus ‘HGC® Ice N’ Roses® Picotee’ brings subtle elegance to the winter and early spring garden. Its single, cup-shaped flowers open in crisp white with delicately blushed pink edges, gradually developing green tones as they mature, extending visual interest well beyond peak flowering.

This variety forms a strong, clump-forming habit with glossy green evergreen foliage, making it an excellent structural plant throughout the year. It thrives in partial shade, particularly under deciduous trees or in woodland-style borders, where it benefits from winter light and summer shelter.

Equally suited to patio containers, courtyard gardens, and mixed borders, this hellebore is adaptable, long-lived, and easy to care for. Its robust nature, combined with some resistance to rabbits and deer, makes it a reliable choice for UK gardens.
