Notes

'Wedding Party Dark and Handsome' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Wedding Party Dark and Handsome') is a perennial for borders, shade gardens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It stays evergreen, so the leaves give color all year. Blooms open from early to late winter and again from early to late spring.

Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Autumn fern, and Aureola Japanese forest grass.
