Winter Flower: Hellebore

Hellebore is a beautiful and delicate winter flower. Its comes in this speckle-y purple white color, white mixed with green, light pink and dark purple. When you’re arranging with Hellebore here are some helpful tips:

1. Bring a pot of water to boil

2. Once at a boil, let the water cool

3. Cut your hellebore stems to your desired length and then dip the tips of the stems in hot water.

4. Place your hellebore in vase and enjoy. The hot water helps the blooms to last longer.

Use it in a mixed arrangement or just on its own in a simple glass vase (this one is from Jamali Gardens).
