Notes

'Honeymoon Rome in Red' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Honeymoon Rome in Red') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. It stays evergreen and grows 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. It blooms in winter and spring, so you get color when little else is flowering. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.

Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Western sword fern, and Cornelian cherry.
