The Frostkiss™ Anna’s Red® Hellebore is an early blooming evergreen perennial, with bright blooms that will bring your winter garden to life. Rosy red flowers fade to a deep, rich burgundy, while stems are held upright on unique, marbled foliage that changes colors seasonally. 

Anna’s Red®, a robust Helleborus hybrid commonly referred to as the Lenten rose, is a vigorous grower. This low-maintenance, easy to grow compact plant thrives in shady environments and is resistant to deer and disease.

Anna’s Red® thrives when planted in beds, borders, or containers. It also does well as a ground cover, expanding naturally without becoming invasive. Order yours today and add an influx of color to your winter landscape!

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Hellebores do not like very dry, very wet, or poorly drained soil. Select a planting site that is in partial shade and sheltered from strong winds.

Plant your Anna’s Red® in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Water immediately to establish roots. Once established, it requires minimal care. Hellebores have deep roots, so if you plan to grow them in a container, make sure to use one that is deep enough. The container should be thick-walled and large enough to prevent the soil from freezing, as the plant cannot absorb water when the roots are frozen.

2. Watering: Make sure to provide enough water, especially after planting. Plants in containers should never be allowed to dry out completely, but be careful to avoid waterlogged conditions.

3. Pruning: Cut back spent flower heads to prevent seedlings. Remove old or damaged leaves and dead flowers in the spring.

4. Fertilizing: It is recommended to use a standard planting medium with a pH level that is not too acidic.
