Notes

'Snowbells' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Snowbells') is a perennial for shade gardens, borders, 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. White flowers bloom from early to late winter and again from early to late spring. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. This evergreen plant stays 9 to 12 inches tall, so it suits the front of a border.

Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Western sword fern, and Wood lily.
