Hellebores are not just for Christmas as in Christmas Rose there are species that are also called Lenten Roses.
Generally they bloom between December and April depending on the type and conditions.

Hellebore Facts

• The majority of Hellebores are deep rooted, stout plants well-known for their thick, shiny green foliage.
• The large leaves may survive through winter but not all plants are evergreen.
• Once established, most Hellebores make drought resistant plants particularly if given some dappled shade in summer.
• Happy in shade plants will perform their best if given some sun.
• Wild species grow in open meadows with only short grass for shading the roots.
• Hellebores are acaulescent which means they have leaves but flower without stems straight from the ground
