Notes
'Double Ellen Pink' Lenten rose (Helleborus hybridus 'Double Ellen Pink') is a perennial for borders and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part sun and average to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms from late winter into spring, when little else is in flower. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide.
Pairs well with Common snowdrop, Caramel coral bells, and Siberian bugloss.
