Notes

'Wedding Party First Dance' Lenten rose (Helleborus 'Wedding Party First Dance') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It is evergreen, so the leaves add color all year. Blooms open from early to late winter and early to late spring.

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