Notes
'Ruby Heart' Lenten rose (Helleborus hybridus 'Ruby Heart') is a perennial for foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade. Nodding white to cream double blooms are speckled with ruby red and rise above evergreen foliage on stems up to 16 inches high. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Lenten roses are long-lived, so give them a permanent spot.
Pairs well with Western sword fern, Snowdrop, and Liverleaf.
