Hellebores or Lenten Roses are an exciting new flower for me. I suppose someday I’ll have discovered everything but not yet! Their gorgeous color palettes offer a magical secret display when other plants aren’t blooming. Hellebores love to grow in the shade and under heavy tree canopy which is typically a tricky place for finding things to grow.

There is just something about their sugary, muted, delicate flowers that has me hooked.  Available in white, green, purple, pink and peach – they seem fun to collect. This year I was able to track down three plants at my local greenhouses but I think an online order is in my future.

I am absolutely obsessed with this one that I purchased in full bloom. 

Long-blooming and low-maintenance, are Hellebores heading to your yard?
