Notes

'Ivory Prince' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Ivory Prince') is a perennial for borders, shade gardens, containers, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. The evergreen leaves keep color all year, and the flowers open from winter into spring. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Hosta, Western sword fern, and Carlton daffodil.
