Helleborus HGC® Ice N' Roses® Collection
Bold winter flowers in rich tones, ideal for adding colour to sunny or shaded pondside spots
Normally Available From: 2ltr - October to February
Transform your winter garden with the Helleborus Ice N’ Roses® Collection - a bold, long-flowering range of hellebores known for their vibrant blooms and incredible resilience. These hardy, evergreen perennials produce extra-large flowers in deep red, pink, rose and bicolour shades, often flowering from November through to spring, even in exposed, sunny areas.
Ideal for shaded or sunny garden borders, these hellebores are also perfect for planting around ponds, where their rich foliage and eye-level blooms create a dramatic winter display. Tough, long-lived and low-maintenance, they thrive in most soils (avoiding waterlogged areas) and come back stronger year after year.
Choose from six stunning varieties or a grower’s choice mixed pack – each sold as a pack of 3 x 2 litre potted plants:
- Early Rose – Masses of rose-pink flowers from late autumn to April. Colour deepens as blooms age, adding warm tones through winter - available from October.

How to Grow

- Growing Tips:
Care & Maintenance
- Pruning: Remove faded flowers and old leaves in late winter or early spring to tidy the plant and reduce the risk of disease. This also encourages new foliage and flower growth the following season.
- Pests/Diseases: Generally trouble-free. Watch for aphids, vine weevils, and black spot on older leaves. Frogs and toads often found near ponds help manage pests like slugs naturally. Keeping the area clean and spacing plants well will help reduce fungal problems.
