'Midnight Ruffles' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Midnight Ruffles') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, containers, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
