COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS...DAY 4...CHRISTMAS PLANTS

Helleborus niger is commonly known as 'The Christmas Rose' though it's actually a herbaceous perennial not a rose! It's a gorgeous relatively low growing perennial that flowers in late winter and is perfect for growing in a pot. This would make a lovely Christmas present. Helleborus and a range of stunning outdoor containers are available from both St Bridget Nurseries' Garden Centres in Exeter.
