Helleborus × ericsmithii 'Pirouette' 3 Litre

Helleborus 'Pirouette' is a graceful evergreen perennial that brings soft colour and structure to the garden during the colder months. From mid-winter to early spring, it produces elegant, bowl-shaped flowers that open from dusky pink buds and gradually deepen in colour as they mature—from creamy white to rich rose-pink. Its dark green, leathery foliage stays attractive all year round, making it a reliable choice for shady borders and containers.

This clump-forming plant thrives in moist but well-drained soil that’s rich in organic matter. It prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun if sheltered from harsh winds. A layer of mulch in autumn helps retain moisture and encourages strong flowering. Once established, it’s hardy and low-maintenance—just remove old leaves as the flowers appear to keep the plant looking fresh and reduce the risk of leaf spot.

‘Pirouette’ is also a welcome source of nectar for early pollinators and fits beautifully into woodland-style planting schemes or under shrubs and roses.
