Our native hellebore (rarely seen), thick upright, purple-tinted stems carry clusters of small, green, ball-like flowers that open into little cups and are rimmed with purple.

In it she explained that " Helen Ballard found them in this garden - hense the name". I bought 30 plants from her at 25p each!
