Know before you buy
Most traditional hellebores have nodding, downward-facing flowers. The Ice N' Roses series is specifically bred so the blooms face outward and upward, making the flowers much more visible and easier to enjoy in your garden.
Yes, this hellebore is well-suited for both light and deep shade. It thrives in partial shade conditions, making it an excellent choice for brightening up darker corners of your landscape.
Yes, hellebores are generally avoided by deer and rabbits due to their bitter taste. While no plant is 100% deer-proof, this variety is a reliable choice for gardens in areas with high deer traffic.
This hellebore prefers rich, well-drained soil. It performs best when the soil is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged, so ensure your planting site has good drainage to prevent root rot.
Absolutely. The Ice N' Roses Rosado features attractive, evergreen foliage that remains green throughout the year, providing a lush, structural backdrop for your garden even when the plant is not in bloom.
Since this plant reaches a mature height and width of two feet, you should space them at least two feet apart on center. This allows for proper air circulation and gives the plant enough room to reach its full, healthy size.
