splashes of color in the landscape. These plants,
which are also known as Christmas roses or Lenten

white, deep purple, light green and rich burgundy.
" Hellebores are wonderful winter and earlyspring
bloomers suited for direct planting into the
landscape or growing in containers, " says Laura
Root, merchandise manager with Greenwood,
S.C.-based Park Seed Co. " This evergreen perennial
prefers shade and well-drained soil, and their foliage
provides yearlong interest in the garden even when

The Christmas rose's white or light-pink, upward-facing
blossoms appear in late November and last through early

" Most hellebores on the market today are hybrids, " Root
says. " Typically, they are purchased as mature, potted plants
that can be planted directly into the landscape in the fall or
spring. "
