Notes
'Honeymoon Swiss Alps' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Honeymoon Swiss Alps') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, 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 is evergreen, so the leaves stay on the plant through the cold months. Blooms open in winter and carry on into spring. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Autumn fern, Aureola Japanese forest grass, Lily of the valley, and Crimson Queen Japanese maple.
