Brighten up the winter with this ‘Early Rose’ cultivar in the “Ice N’ Roses” line featuring especially leathery evergreen leaves and soft rosy-pink blooms from January to April with outward-facing blooms. The evergreen foliage grows 1 to 2 ft. high and wide, providing year-round presence and beauty in a shady or woodland garden.
Hellebores are beloved for their winter blooms, evergreen foliage, drought-tolerance, and deer and rabbit resistance.
‘Early Rose’ is a bit more sun tolerant than most hellebores, very vigorous and robust, and is strongly disease resistant. This variety performs best in part sun to part shade. Do not plant too deeply, and mulch every other year to keep roots cool in summer. Cut the spent foliage back by late December to better view the newly emerging flowers and fresh foliage.
Hellebores are beautiful when mixed with shade-tolerant native and waterwise perennials and ferns. The late winter-spring blooms will sustain early pollinators, such as early-foraging bees, in the garden or in containers.
Hellebores do best in fertile, humus-rich, well drained soil. Water deeply but infrequently for its first few growing seasons and then wean it from water as a drought-tolerant, low-maintenance companion for many, many years of winter delight.
Note: Hellebores are notoriously expensive, but these hard-to-find quart sizes are much more affordable, allowing you to conserve your budget and enjoy these plants in your landscape as they quickly mature.
