Lenten Rose 'French Kiss'

Veined and outlined with raspberry pink, each white blossom is kissed smack in the center with a brilliant star of deeper raspberry-a stunning backdrop to glowing yellow stamens. The nodding flowers glow pink on the reverse.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, the Honeymoon™ series showcases single-flowered selections of notable vigor with showy floral displays of rich colored blossoms. Another highly desirable series developed by Hybridizer, Hans Hansen. Charming first-flowering perennials of spring. Float flowers in clear bowls for an elegant centerpiece.

Helleborus were named the Perennial Plant Association's Plant of the Year in 2005. They are perfect perennials when you need a splash of color as you weary of winter's grip. Lovely nodding cup-shaped flowers herald the coming of spring. Avoid dry soil with full sun. Good evergreen groundcover.

Prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture to establish, then are carefree. Spent flower heads can be cut back to promote new foliage growth or to prevent unwanted volunteer seedlings. Many plantlets will form around base of parent plant and will bloom around the third year if left alone. Division is generally not needed (or recommended) but can be performed in early spring if desired. Remove young side plantlets with roots and replant. Water well.
