The HBC(R) Ice N’ Roses collection is the finest group of Hellebores on the market today, but they’ve been unavailable to us in the U.S. until recently. They’re more expensive than common Hellebores because they’re branded, patented hybrids bred to be FAR more vigorous, producing more stems with larger flowers that bloom EARLIER and LONGER.
The Marble Collection Hellebores are the most exclusive varieties because they combine the legendary vigor of the Ice N’ Roses series, along with striking variegated silver-veined foliage and upward/outward-facing blooms on red stems — making them showier in the garden, even when they’re not in bloom, and better for containers than other Hellebores.
These are vigorous! They’ll quickly form large productive clumps in 1 or 2 years. You’ll have 4-5 stems in 2027 (their first bloom cycle) and 10-15 more each season after. They’re capable of reaching 2 feet in height, and are disease, rabbit and deer resistant.
We have 2 excellent varieties spreading their roots in gallon pots:
Mary Marble (1st photo) — known for large cream-to-pink blooms with rich magenta picotee edged patterns
Maddy Marble (2nd photo) — features creamy white blooms with dark purple rims and pink veining
TO GROW
Unlike common Hellebores (which are strict shade lovers), the Ice N’ Roses Marble varieties are especially tolerant of sunnier locations.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the container; the crown must sit at or slightly above the soil surface to prevent rot.
Space plants 18–24 inches apart. Water weekly during the first season and mulch to retain moisture.
FOR CUT FLOWERS
Hellebores are prone to wilting when cut too early, so wait until the flowers mature. The sepals (petal-like parts) should be hard, and stamens should have begun to shed. More mature flowers last longer than newly-opened ones — but it’s fine to harvest when the first flower is fully open/mature and the next ones are just unfolding.
Hellebore blooms like deep water in their vase, which pushes hydration up the stems.
FULFILLMENT OPTIONS
