The Helleborus Niger ‘Christmas Carol’, commonly known as the Christmas Rose, is a cherished winter-flowering perennial that brings seasonal brightness just when gardens and homes need it most. Native to mountainous regions and well-suited for the British climate, this variety blooms from late autumn to early spring, making it an ideal choice for winter displays. Its crisp, pure white flowers contrast beautifully against its dark green, semi-evergreen foliage, which remains attractive even after blooming has finished.
This plant is supplied in a decorative mottled ceramic pot, designed to complement both traditional and modern seasonal décor. The pot is neutral-toned with a subtle festive finish, allowing it to work effortlessly in various indoor and outdoor settings. Whether it’s part of a holiday table arrangement, placed beside the front door, or used to brighten a cold conservatory, the elegant combination of ceramic and living colour makes a striking impression.
Each Christmas Carol Hellebore is grown in UK nurseries, meaning it’s fully hardened off for the local climate and arrives strong and healthy. These plants are winter hardy and tolerate frost, provided the soil is well-drained. They are happiest in partial shade but can adapt to full sun in cooler months.
The Helleborus Niger ‘Christmas Carol’ in a Ceramic Pot is compact enough to fit comfortably on a table, windowsill, or doorstep, yet impactful in appearance. Approximate dimensions are:
-
Total height (including plant and pot): 25–30cm
-
Ceramic pot diameter: 13–15cm
-
Plant spread at maturity: 20–30cm
This decorative piece is perfectly sized for indoor displays or small outdoor arrangements, and its low profile makes it ideal for groupings or centrepieces. The mottled ceramic pot adds a rustic yet elegant touch and is sturdy enough to remain stable in breezy outdoor conditions. Once the flowering season ends, the plant can be moved to a larger outdoor container or planted directly in the garden to enjoy seasonal blooms for years to come.
