The WEDDING PARTY® Wedding Bells hellebore (Helleborus x hybridus WEDDING PARTY® Wedding Bells) is a remarkable flowering perennial that will bring a touch of early spring freshness and elegance to your garden from late winter. This hybrid variety is distinguished by its large, bell-shaped flowers in an immaculate white, sometimes slightly veined with pink, which illuminate the dormant landscape.

  • Elegant Bell-Shaped Flowers: The large, bell-shaped flowers, in immaculate white sometimes slightly veined with pink, measure 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter (5 to 6 cm) and offer a delicate and refined spectacle.
  • Evergreen Foliage: This perennial retains its deep green, glossy foliage throughout the year, adding a touch of greenery even during the coldest months.

Growing Information for Optimal Bloom:

  • Soil: The WEDDING PARTY® Wedding Bells hellebore prefers rich, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil. It also tolerates neutral soils.
  • Light: This perennial thrives in shade or partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.
  • Watering: Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer in spring or fall to promote abundant blooms.
  • Division: Dividing the plant every 3 to 5 years helps keep it healthy and encourages continued blooming.

Ideal for naturalizing in wooded and moist areas, this plant develops an expansive root system. Its sturdy stems support the inflorescences well. Its foliage is dark green and evergreen. A remarkable choice to brighten up shady areas.
