Heritage Perennial Profile Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.  Plant Number: 1.256.400 USDA Zone: 4 - 9  Helleborus × hybridus mixture Common name :  Lenten Rose (Aka Helleborus orientalis hybrids) 2005 PERENNIAL PLANT of the YEAR. The Lenten Rose is a close cousin to the more familiar Christmas Rose, and even easier to grow. Plants produce a bushy clump of thick, leathery evergreen leaves. Flower stalks appear in early spring, bearing large nodding flowers in many shades, from white through to cream, pink, red, purple and maroon, often with contrasting spots or streaks. Site these where they will stay for many years, since the plants resent being disturbed. Trimming the old leaves to the ground in late winter will make the show of flowers more easily seen. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten/skin irritant.

Hellebores in bloom never fail to make an impact, even when planted alone. To add to the impact, use them as groundcovers under deciduous trees and shrubs with attractive winter silhouettes or colors that help highlight the hellebores below them, such as Siberian dogwood (Cornus alba 'Sibirica'), witch hazels (Hamamelis spp.) or winterberry (Ilex verticillata), for example.; Larry Hodgson, Perennials for Every Purpose Best Selling 4th Edition Now Available!
