Notes
'Walberton's Rosemary' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Walberton's Rosemary') is a perennial for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun and average to moist, loamy, clay, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It is evergreen, so the leaves give you color all year, and it blooms in winter and spring.
Pairs well with Common snowdrop, Siberian bugloss, Caramel coral bells, and Thalia daffodil.
