Helleborus ‘Anna’s Red’ (Lenten Rose)

Scientific Name: Helleborus 'ABCRD02' One of the first perennials to emerge in the Connecticut garden, low-maintenance Helleborus is beloved for its exquisite, long-lasting blooms in shades of ivory, muted mauves, and luxurious burgundy. Helleborus 'Anna's Red' has deep burgundy blooms with marbled leaves. Plant under large shrubs to add depth to your yard or place in a container for a sophisticated pop of pink. PRO TIP: Helleborus is a slow-growing tender perennial that likes minimal grooming, as excessive pruning will harm the plant. Left to its own devices, Helleborus mounds will nearly double in size with each new season, allowing for separation and propagation, if desired. Photo © by Pacific Plug & Liner
