Common Name: Lenten Rose
'Anna's Red' produces clusters of rich burgundy single flowers on stems held upright above lush marbled foliage. Plant in part to full shade, where it grows 18-24" tall and wide. Hardy to Zone 4.
Hellebores are the harbingers of spring, blooming for six weeks or more beginning in late winter. They are often flowering during the Christian season of Lent, from which they get their common name, Lenten Rose. This is the perfect plant for naturalizing in moist, woodland areas where its extensive root system will spread as far as it is allowed.
