Helleborus × hybridus red selection
Lenten Rose |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.256.380
(aka Helleborus orientalis red selection) 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 shades of red. 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, and just generally tidy up the plants. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten/Skin irritant.
