This colourful introductory guide to our most popular winter and spring flower is one of the first of the exciting Wisley Handbook series from the Royal Horticultural Society.
Highly readable, enticingly priced, yet packed with information for gardeners who want to know a little more about these indispensable perennials yet not be overwhelmed with information, the book is full of sound advice. It covers growing and propagating hellebores, using them effectively in the garden with other plants and there’s a thorough descriptive list of all the species and the most important varieties.
The photography, by the author, is captivating (even if I do say so myself). It includes the latest of both British and American varieties, as well as other newcomers and provides all the advice you need to choose and grow good hellebores.

From the Reviews
"This book is thorough, packed with practical advice, yet not full of jargon. My husband and I have only recently fallen head over heels in love with hellebores, so this is just the sort of reference book we needed."
