Notes
'Honeymoon Rio Carnival' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Honeymoon Rio Carnival') is a perennial for borders, shade gardens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It stays evergreen, so the leaves add color all year. Flowers open from winter into spring.
Pairs well with Autumn fern, Aureola Japanese forest grass, and Crimson Queen Japanese maple.
