Notes

'Flower Girl' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Flower Girl') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, ground cover, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade 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.
