Helleborus Niger in a wicker basket

Helleborus Niger (Christmas rose) in a wicker basket
An unattractive and inspiration -free winter garden? That is not necessary for anything! No garden plant that blooms as long and as beautifully in the winter months as the Christmas rose. This beauty with evergreen leaves and radiant flowers is a real asset to the garden. November is a good month to give this garden plant a place in the border. 
The real, white Christmas rose such as the Helleborus Niger is called in full, comes from the Eastern alpes, Apennines, Carpathians. This plant is often pulled into bloom, so that it can be offered at its best around Christmas. In the garden it also works very beautiful. It is a evergreen perennial that reaches 20 to 40 centimeters high and has thick leaves. The large flowers fold nicely open, pure white in color. Flowering can already start in the garden in January. The white color turns fairly quickly into a pink or greenish hue.
Christmas is actually over, but in January if we can use some color, some Christmas roses appear in the garden. The genus Christmas rose consists of strong and slowly growing perennials. There are both evergreen and non-winter green species. The flowering of all species takes place early in the year. The flowers are often nodding. Because the leaves stay on for a long time and some discoloration, the decorative value is also long. The growth height varies from barely 25 to 75 centimeters. A Lle Helleborus species are toxic.
General maintenance Most Christmas roses prefer to grow in humus -rich soil that contains some lime. The soil must also be nutritious and be able to retain sufficient moisture. They are deciduous forests and that means that they like to be sunny during the early flowering and the first months thereafter and are very grateful in the summer for sufficient protection against the sun.
The plants like to be left alone, they can stay in the same place for decades. Sprinkle some leaf humus (not from oak leaf) in the fall at this forest plant. This stimulates good growth and rich flowering. If you especially enjoy the white color of the Helleborus Niger, it is best to give it a light -shaded location, because the flowers stay white for longer.
This Helleborus is in a wicker basket of 17 cm, the height of the basket is 40 cm.
