Notes
'Pink Frost' Lenten rose (Helleborus hybridus 'Pink Frost') is a perennial for shade gardens, woodland settings, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part to full shade and average moisture. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The pink, white, and deep rose blooms open in late winter and early to mid spring. Its silver frosted leaves give an ombre effect and stay evergreen.
Pairs well with Lady in Red lady fern, Lime Marmalade coral bells, and Rosebay rhododendron.
