The Hellebore Christmas Carol (Helleborus niger) is a timeless festive favourite, often referred to as the Christmas Rose for its elegant winter blooms. Unlike typical Christmas decorations, this living gift adds a lasting, eco-friendly, and heartwarming touch to holiday giving. It is perfect for those who appreciate seasonal plants that go beyond the festive period, offering charm and colour well into the early months of the new year.
This variety is specially cultivated for its compact form, vigorous flowering, and exceptional hardiness in cold weather. The blooms typically appear from late autumn through early spring, providing bright, white blossoms when most plants are dormant. As a semi-evergreen, the plant maintains much of its foliage year-round, although it may shed a few leaves in winter.
The Hellebore Christmas Carol is delivered in a 15cm metal tin planter, ideal for small tables, windowsills, or outdoor accents. The overall plant height ranges from 30–40cm, including the pot, depending on bloom stage and seasonal growth. The spread also reaches approximately 30–40cm, creating a balanced and compact display.
The decorative metal planter features:
A rustic white-washed finish
Rope handles on both sides for easy carrying
A charming heart cut-out design on the front
The pot has sufficient depth and width to support healthy root development while providing a sturdy base for the flowering plant. Its size makes it suitable for gifting, yet substantial enough to serve as a festive centrepiece.
