- This perennial beauty is not a rose at all, but a hellebore hybrid that belongs to the buttercup family
- It blooms in late winter or early spring, often during the Lent season, hence the name.
- It has delicate, nodding flowers in a range of colors, from white to pink to purple, that add a touch of grace to your garden.
- It is hardy, drought-tolerant, and deer-resistant, making it a low-maintenance and reliable choice.

- Mulch them with organic matter to keep the soil moist and cool.
