When I'm not on my bike, you'll find me in my organic-ish garden in #Cumbria. Favourite plants? Wisteria, hellebores, peonies, philadelphus...

When this didn’t flower last year I thought maybe I was going to lose it but no! It is back. In all its glory 💚 #hellebore #helleborus-lividus

I’ve kept mine in the tunnel for now, didn’t want to risk it as I’d heard these were tender ish - that flower looks lovely!

There are plenty more 😍 I thought it was fairly tender too but decided to risk it and it’s doing OK outside (if you ignore last year 🙄) @richard.spicer.7906

Thanks Kim 😊 I wonder if it would be happier in a better drained bit of the garden but it seems to be surviving 👍 @kimguy

They usually prefer a well drained area but if it's doing good then that's great @awomanonabike

...that’s why I worry but it seems happy so I’m not moving it yet... @kimguy

This little beauty isn't really fully frost-hardy but it seems to have made it through another winter... #hellebore

I don't think I had clocked that it wasn't fully hardy until adding it just now. Hey! Ho! It seems to be surviving 😊 @rachelbrooks

All the H. x hybridus are fully hardy Pauline (though mine sometimes look like they're wilting if it gets very cold) but I think both this one, which is also sometimes called Majorcan H., and H. Argutifolius (Corsican H.) don't like it below about -5. I think you can get away with it though if they are in free draining soil... @flof1952

The leaves and stems are lovely too & provide a great background to the flower Susie - not that you can tell from the photo! @susieg

Me too Susie. And to have something so beautiful in the garden at this time of year, adds so much value 😊😊 @susieg
