SHOP Hellebore plants and seeds for sale

PLANT SALES 2024

We are having a break from selling hellebores this year, but hopefully plants will be available for sale next year (2025).

If you live locally, it's possible that a small number of plants will be on offer at Walkern Hall near Stevenage on 23rd/24th March. The garden is opening for the NGS, and offers visitors the chance to see a wonderful display of spring bulbs in a woodland setting.

.

Please check the NGS website for details on how to reach Walkern Hall, and for opening hours.

**************************************************************************************************************************************

After over 15 years of hellebore sales, we have now stopped opening on a regular basis. We feel it is time for a fresh challenge, and hope to start on the development of a new garden – among other things – in the next couple of years. I can't see that I will ever stop growing hellebores, or working on the development of improved strains, so there will still be a smaller number of plants available in future years for those customers wanting to increase their collection. We also plan to continue seed sales.

HELLEBORE SEED

A range of fresh hellebore seed is available in summer, which offers customers the chance to grow a number of high quality plants at a reasonable cost. Our seed is hand-pollinated, and includes the sought-after anemone centre varieties, where demand for our flowering plants always outstrips supply. Seed will be available as it ripens, from the middle of May. Click here to go to our seed page.

We have now stopped doing mail order (2022). Sorry!

Prices:

We have 3 price bands. Plants with a higher price tend to be newer colours or those that are more difficult to produce. This does not mean that they are more difficult to grow in the garden. Well-established lines, producing a high percentage of good, saleable plants, are less work to produce than those where development is at an early stage. Please note we only ever send out plants that we are completely happy with.
