With its stunning flowers and foliage, the FrostKiss™ Glenda's Gloss Hellebore will really brighten up the late-winter garden. Producing violet-tinged petals that stand proud above its marbled leaves, this is one truly elegant hellebore. The botanically named Helleborus x Frostkiss® 'Glenda's Gloss' is ideal for a shady spot and will remain a compact 2 feet high. Glenda’s Gloss is a choice hellebore that makes a wonderful gift.
Being deer and rabbit resistant, Glenda's Gloss Hellebore is well suited to growing in either an urban or rural environment. Requiring little ongoing care once established, this perennial hellebore is wonderfully low maintenance. Native to the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia, Glenda’s Gloss is suitable for growing in zones 5 to 8. As a shade-loving plant, it is suitably at home in woodland planting schemes or when used for underplanting.
FrostKiss™ Glenda's Gloss Hellebore Care
Hellebores are happiest when planted in full to partial shade and in moist, fertile soil that has a pH of around 5.5 to 6.5. Even though it is fairly tolerant of drought once established, water Glenda’s Gloss regularly for the first couple of years. To get the best from this hellebore, a mulch of organic matter or a general, slow-release fertilizer can be applied in spring.
Hellebores generally require minimal pruning; however, any old or brown foliage can be cut away as buds begin to form in late winter. Being toxic, gloves are advisable when handling. When grown in a container, more frequent watering will be required compared to plants grown directly in the ground. Even though Glenda’s Gloss is able to cope with full shade, it may flower less than when grown in some sunlight.
FrostKiss™ Glenda's Gloss Hellebore Spacing
Once established, Glenda’s Gloss can grow to a maximum height and spread of 18-24 inches. If grown en masse, space plants around 16 inches apart to provide maximum impact.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
