Spring Bloomer

One of the earliest flowering plants in the garden, Hellebores or Lenten Rose are a true herald of spring. In my garden they flower for weeks in April and May and I just adore them! The flowers of Spanish Flare are exquisite – large 3” diameter, soft yellow with maroon centres – a real beauty.

In addition to their great early flower power, Hellebores are a very versatile plant, growing in a full range of conditions, from full sun to full shade. They are deer and rabbit resistant and attractive to early pollinators.
