Description
Helleborus Magic Double Red is a variety of the Magic series with variable flowers. Its double flowers are different from one plant to another, sometimes even on the same plant. Most often in shades of red and old pink, the corollas are occasionally bicoloured, pastel or more colourful, adorned with small dots, spots and contrasting streaks. Hellebore is a robust and hardy plant that will enliven borders, the ground under shrub beds, flower beds and pots on the terrace. Easy to grow, even in heavy soil, it will thrive in shade or non-burning sun.
Native to Greece, Turkey, and the central and eastern Caucasus, Helleborus orientalis, also known as Lenten Rose, is a perennial plant of the buttercup family that readily hybridizes with other species to produce hybrids with very varied colours and forms. No variety names are given to these hybrids; they are distinguished by shape and colour characteristics. Oriental Hellebore is a hardy plant that tolerates temperatures down to -15°C, naturally growing in forests, thickets, and clearings up to 2,000 m altitude.
Helleborus Magic Double Red forms a compact and leafy clump, about 40 cm (16in) in all directions, of palmate, slightly toothed, dark green and glossy, evergreen basal leaves made up of 7 to 9 thick leaflets. They only live for 8 months and are regularly replaced by new leaves. Between February and April, a bunch of double flowers 4 to 5 cm (2in) in diameter forms among the foliage. These are cup-shaped and inclined with two to three rows of satin petals increasing in size from the center of the flower to the outer corolla. They are inclined downwards, letting water slide off like an umbrella, to protect the heart of the flower from rotting. Hellebore does not like to be moved once established, as the young plants take some time to flower. The seeds are sown by ants.
Use hellebores as elements of an ancient tapestry, mixing them with woodland plants in brighter colours. These perennials are highlighted close to Pieris, modest-sized rhododendrons, under conifers (especially on windy sites), surrounded by primroses, wood anemones, Corydalis, dicentras, cardamines, or spring-flowering bulbs and snowdrops. You can also accompany them with ferns and shade irises to create a beautiful contrast a little later in the season. They can be planted in groups near the entrance of the house, in the shade to fully enjoy their early flowers. They are suitable for cut flowers and in borders, flower beds, or containers… Over time, Hellebore flowers do not fade like the majority of other flowers, but dry up and remain decorative for a long time.

Planting and care
Oriental Hellebore Magic Double Red grows in partial shade in any well-prepared and loosened soil, rich and light, preferably slightly acidic to neutral, in partial or light shade, sheltered from cold and dominant winds. This perennial is best planted from early autumn to spring. It thrives in deeply worked soil mixed with organic matter. Feed with bone meal or another organic fertilizer. Water well after planting and add a layer of mulch 2 to 5 cm (1 to 2in) thick. Regularly remove faded leaves to improve flowering. Ensure a planting distance of 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) between each plant to promote their development. Hellebores do not like stagnant water, as it can cause their roots to rot.
The roots should not completely dry out in summer. Hellebores can be affected by a fungal disease transmitted by aphids, known as black spot. Remove the old leaves of deciduous species or the spotted leaves of evergreen species when the flower buds appear. Remove faded flowers after the seeds fall. They can also suffer from grey rot or die from collar rot due to poor growing conditions, in excessively wet situations.
On a balcony or terrace, plant them in pots 4 to 5 times larger than their size, as they need space to develop their root system. Most hellebores are hardy and can withstand temperatures down to -15°C (5°F) without suffering, allowing them to adapt to almost all regions.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
