Notes
'New York Night' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'New York Night') 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. It stays evergreen, grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide, and blooms in winter and again in spring. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Use it near ferns for a cool, leafy look.
Pairs well with Lady fern, Minuteman hosta, and Foam flower.
