Hellebores, also known as Lenten Roses or Winter Roses, are perennial plants highly valued for their exquisite blooms during the cooler months. These hardy plants feature elegant, downward-facing flowers in a variety of colours, including shades of white, pink, purple, and green. Unlike many cottage perennials, Hellebores thrive in shade or part shade, making them ideal for adding colour to shady areas. With their evergreen foliage and long-lasting flowers, Hellebores create striking displays in Melbourne and Victorian gardens, providing much-needed colour and interest during the winter season.
