Adored for its incredibly floriferous bloom, long blooming season and robust growth, the Ice & Roses ‘Red’ Helleborus features abundant, saucer-shaped, ruby to purple-red flowers with a crown of contrasting bright stamens occurring from mid to late winter winter well into spring. Unlike some varieties, many of the long-lasting large flowers of this one are outward facing and held on sturdy reddish stems which make them perfect for cutting and use in floral arrangements and bouquets. Nectar rich, the flowers offer emerging winter bees an essential food source at a time when not much else is blooming in the garden. The flowers stems rise above very attractive leathery, deep green, evergreen foliage that is deer and rabbit resistant. Virtually problem-free and exceptionally long-lived, this first class delightful hardy flowering wonder thrives in partially shaded garden beds, even under the canopies of large trees, as well as in container gardens for situating on patios, porches, decks and around other outdoor sitting and living spaces.
