Sick of the drab days and colors of late winter? Did the ground hog see his shadow again? Doesn't matter. This little WEDDING PARTY® Series helleborus is about to spike the punch and bring some fun to the last days of winter.
Wedding Crasher has soft pink 3 inch double bloom flowers that are covered with dark pink freckles. At a distance it blends together to create an outstanding multihued pink and close up it provides an intricate level of detail. Central yellow stamens top of the look helping the pink pop even more.
The plants in the WEDDING PARTY® series were specifically selected for vigor, rich color, and abundant double bloom flowers. Hellebores bloom in very early spring/late winter for six weeks or more. Because they often flower during the Christian Lent, they have been given the common name Lenten Rose. Due to their shade loving nature, hellebores are perfect for under trees and places where many sun loving perennials don't thrive - they are great at filling these spaces because they spread through an extensive root system. Hellebores look wonderful planted in window boxes or raised beds and will provide a burst of much needed color in these areas early in the season. They are also provide an important food source for pollinators during the late winter.

Helleborus Wedding Crasher - Leten Rose
Hellebores are low-maintenance and disease and pest resistant. This makes them very enjoyable to grow and care for. In the late winter it's best to trim back last year's growth to enhance production. Hellebores prefer moist, well drained soil high in organic matter, but will also grow well in sandy to clay soil. Hellebores can tolerate some draught and a range of soil PH. You should protect hellebores from afternoon sun, as shade loving plants they work well under trees and other places where many perennials don't thrive. WARNING: Hellebores are poisonous. Do not consume any part of the plant!
