Hi J, they are a species of Hellebore, which includes the Christmas Rose. Christmas roses flower as you would expect, around Christmas, and are usually a pale shade of green/cream.
The ones that come in different colours usually flower a bit later (like now), and you can get various shades of pink, red and white. This plant I bought mail order, it came in a pack of three, and this is the only one that survived.
They like shade, moisture and peaty soils, and you can grow them in East Anglia.
The garden is coming along lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose are the first daffodils I have seen this Spring.
All this garden wandering won't get those tiles laid, back you go.
Tee Hee!!!!
much love

ReplyDeleteWhat are the ones at the top? And will they grow in East Anglia?
