it? ‘Helleborus ‘True Love’ boasts double 3.5″, deep maroon-red flowers on sturdy stems.
These amazing perennials begin to bloom in late winter, announcing springs’ return. Their bloom coinciding with the Christian season of Lent, which has given them their more popular, common name of Lenten Rose.
Helleborus thrive in moist, woodland settings where their roots can spreed out and establish extensively; making them a wonderful choice for naturalizing. A mature clump will grow to be about two feet tall and wide. Plant them in partial shade, average to fertile soil, and provide them with regular watering during dry spells. These marvelous spring bloomers are deer and rabbit resistant, evergreen and zone 4 hardy.
