Notes
'Mardi Gras Double Mix' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Mardi Gras Double Mix') is a perennial for shade gardens, winter interest, and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade, average moisture, and loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The evergreen leaves stay on the plant through the year. Flowers come in white, pink, rose, plum, and maroon, and they open in late winter into spring.
