Generously sized, reddish-purple flowers carried on upright stems hover above the foliar plane, making Helleborus Frostkiss® Vibey Velvet™ a particularly showy Lenten Rose and differentiating it from varieties with pendent or nodding flowers that bloom amid the leaves. Adding to the appeal of this early bloomer is artfully marbled foliage that can remain evergreen year-round. A beauty in the garden and when cut for vases. 'Et Epb 1717' PP 34,456
These aristocrats of the woodland garden are native to Europe and western Asia. The genus Helleborus contains about 20 species of perennials that bloom in early winter in mild climates and in late winter or early spring where the soil freezes hard, which makes them either the last or the first flowers in the garden. They require a moist but well-drained site with some shade. Take care to amend the soil with plenty of organic matter, such as well-aged leaf mold and compost. You'll be rewarded with long-lived, deer- and vole-resistant plants that will spread nicely on their own.
