Lenten Rose, Brandywine

Helleborus orientalis 'Brandywine'

'Brandywine' Lenten Rose, which appears in late winter to early spring, provides shade and part shade situations with delicate blooms in beautiful colors. This small plant is great for front borders and pots because of its enormous flowers, which have an anemone or double bloom and open outward rather than downward. As plants reseed and naturalize, expect a variety of burgundy, pink, cream, and salmon blooms with various spots and bright center eyes to appear.
