Hellebores
I started collecting hellebore species and hybrids 16 years ago, having been entranced by huge clumps seen in a local nursery garden. We have been hybridising ever since and have developed some new cultivars which have proved popular. In February 2001 the Gardeners World team visited with Rachel de Thame and showed our hellebores on the programme. This really put us on the map as a serious hellebore breeder. Since then we have continued to develop our Bradfield hybrids. Over the years there has been extensive press coverage of our hellebores, including the Bradfield Stars.
The best way to buy hellebores is from the nursery when they are in flower in February, March and April. This way the true colour of the flowers can be discerned. These plants are usually sold in 3L big pots at 3-4 years old.
We have a mail order offer of six Bradfield Hybrids (one litre plants).
Many people have been requesting hellebores of a specific colour by mail order. This means sending larger plants that have flowered (three litre plants). We are now able to do this although the postage costs are higher than for the smaller hellebores or for other perennials. We have a mail order minimumm order of 6 plants, whatever there size. Post and packing charges are £10.00 for parcels up to 10kg in weight and £18.00 for parcels weighing between 10 and 20kg. Generally we are able to pack up to 20 perennials (including one litre hellebores) within the 10kg weight or 6 three litre hellebores.
We strongly advise customers to reserve their favourite colours and forms as some of these popular plants can be in short supply - this includes doubles, anenome centred plants, Bradfield stars and some species. Preordering details

Please
note: An accepted order does not guarantee we can supply the plants ordered as
we cannot be sure of what is available until the hellebores flower. Please
be assured we do our best to fulfill orders. If plants are not available we will
inform you and offer to provide a full refund or hold your order over until the
following year, according to your preference.
