Product Description
Stories about Christmas/Lenten Roses are countless. In medieval times, it was considered a weapon against witches, madness and evil spirits. Christmas/Lenten Roses deserve a place in every garden, not only because of their supposed power, but because they bloom for a long time, early in winter, when the weather is cool and most other flowers are still dormant. They like moist loamy soil with lime and leaf mold. We like them as ground covers for deciduous shrubs, conifers, or broad-leafed evergreens, and when possible plant them in an elevated spot to admire their nodding flowers. They prefer partial shade and are hardy in zones 3-8. The Pink Lady Christmas/Lenten Rose (Helleborus orientalis 'Pink Lady') is a very unusual light pink. It grows 22" tall and blooms February through April. Place the pot on a shaded, cool windowsill and keep evenly moist, not wet or dry. In the spring plant the Christmas/Lenten Rose outside in the partial shade.
