Notes
'Honeymoon Sandy Shores' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Honeymoon Sandy Shores') is an evergreen 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. It blooms from early to late winter and again from early to late spring. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The evergreen leaves keep the bed looking full all year.
Pairs well with Foam flower, Autumn fern, and Aureola Japanese forest grass.
