Helleborus Showcase: Winter’s Hidden Gems
When winter settles in and most gardens fall quiet, hellebores step forward. Often called the Lenten Rose, these evergreen perennials bring color, texture, and life to the garden during the coldest months.
Blooming from late winter into early spring, hellebores thrive in shade and partial shade, offering long-lasting flowers when little else is growing. Each variety has its own character, from deep jewel tones to soft pastels, making hellebores a standout for winter interest.
