Helleborus x hybridus ‘Harvington Mixed’ (2 Litre Pot)
Helleborus x hybridus ‘Harvington Double Mixed’ are a selection of hellebores from the Harvington Hellebores® range. They are excellent, easy to grow garden plants and flower at that time of year when there may be little or no other floral colour. They are winter flowering, frost hardy perennials, that reliably come back year after year, flowering from December through to the end of March. Their dark green, glossy, evergreen foliage also provides year-round interest.
Hellebores look particularly attractive against planting companions such as snowdrops, aconites and early daffodils. They create a perfect ground cover for areas of dappled shade, such as borders under deciduous trees and shrubs, but will also thrive in patio pots.
Our Harvington Hellebores® in pots are established plants ready for planting out in the garden or into a larger pot. To find out more about planting your Helleborus x hybridus please see our Hellebores Planting Advice page.
As a specialist nursery, now based in South Lincolnshire, we have developing Harvington Hellebores® for over 30 years. All plants offered are propagated and grown by us here on our nursery. We are passionate about the quality of our plants and are constantly striving to achieve clarity of flower colour, attractive foliage and garden worthiness within our Harvington Hellebores® range. Our dedication has attracted interest from the national press, who have written more about our story, as follows:

Erythronium ‘Harvington Sunshine’ (2 Litre pot)
Erythronium ‘Harvington Sunshine’ is a bulbous perennial which grows up to 40cm in height. This is our own selection by Hugh Nunn in Harvington, created from a cross of E. oregonum x tuolumnense in 2004. Its flowers are a stunning citrus yellow, with fresh, bright, large green leaves with light mottling. ‘Harvington Sunshine’ is a very vigorous, clump forming and tall growing Erythronium.
We normally send these to you as dormant, freshly lifted, flowering size bulbs from July through to September ready for potting up or planting directly into the garden. However we sometimes have a limited number available in 1 or 2 litre pots which we can despatch from late February for a couple of weeks.
Erythronium ‘Harvington Sunshine’ flowers from late March into April. Their leaves die back in June and the bulbs become dormant over the summer. The best time to buy and plant Erythronium bulbs is in July/August/September, because they will root down in the autumn while the soil is still warm. The attractive glossy leaves start to emerge towards the end of February.
The species and cultivars of Erythronium that we offer are all selected because they are good garden plants. They grow well in dappled shade and the bulbs should be kept damp and not dried out.
Our collection has taken many years to develop. It takes at least 5 years to grow a flowering sized bulb from seed and propagation by division is slow.

Our Erythronium range has been reviewed in The Telegraph and provides further information and advice that is well worth reading:

I have to say how abslutely delighted I am with my 3 hellebores which arrived today. I was amazed by the care and attention which was so clearly obvious in the packaging.
Paul, County Down
Many thanks for the order, which I have now received. The plants arrived in perfect condition, I am sure, a reflection of the way they were so carefully and lovingly packaged. Very impressive.

I ordered two hellebores on Monday and they arrived today! I was astonished, and very happy. Such healthy little plants, one even complete with a flower, and I love your packing system. The fleece and stockings have gone in the compost heap, the cardboard will be recycled, and the two hellebores were planted immediately in prime positions (they were chosen specifically for these sites) where I can admire them daily.
I’m so glad to have found you and think there’s a chance I might be back!
Derek, Ledbury
The parcel arrived here promptly today, and was in perfect condition. Lovely plants, super packing! I shall be getting them in asap, and will no doubt be enjoying them all for years to come. Many thanks

I just wanted to thank you for my recent order of 3 stinking hellebores. I was impressed with the size and condition of the plants, and they were so well packaged (packaging fully recyclable, I noted), that they arrived in perfect condition. Many thanks, they certainly exceeded my expectations in terms of what I have come to expect from other plant nurseries, I will have no hesitation in ordering from you in the future.
