Treat yourself with flowers in the blah and bland last days of winter! Pristine perennial FrostKiss™ Moondance® Lenten Rose (Helleborus x 'EPB 20' PP# 27,969) brings a handsome look to your landscape.
Rising from the mounded dark green, marbled foliage; classy white blooms slowly turn a generous pale green. They are all the more desirable for their exceptionally early blooming period.
Starting as winter finally winds down, the romantically downturned blooms cover the upright mound. FrostKiss™ Moondance® Lenten Rose look especially lush, because the flower stalks also develop leaves.
Is it possible to fall in love with a leaf? Yes, when they look as showy as Moondance® with a dark green background and silvery-green veining.
Even after the beautiful blooms finally fade, the foliage itself makes a wonderful visual statement. Use this hardy, durable perennial as an incredible "Filler" near the front of your garden beds.
For a high-end look, you can even keep them in outdoor containers. They'll need a sheltered spot as winter protection in Zones 4 and 5.
Plant FrostKiss Hellebores near a water feature to make the most of your investment. Use that same principle by tucking these in around the base of a garden statue.
This is an excellent choice to add with spring-flowering bulbs. Try underplanting a Flowering Dogwood or Redbud tree with a mulched bed of partial shade-loving perennials from our online catalog.
It's a thrilling sight to see your Moondance® Lenten Rose start blooming. You'll know that good times in warm weather are on their way once more.
Thrives in full shade, but will tolerate more sun than other Lenten Roses in cooler zones. Plant in any well-drained, moist and organically rich soil location. These perennials appreciate a 3-4 inch layer of mulch for insulation and moisture retention.
Place your order for this designer favorite. Why not mix and match with our other Hellebores for a special, personalized collection that works so hard to bring you delight?
