The Lenten rose, or hellebore, has gone from being a connoisseur s plant to a widely used perennial valued for its low care, versatility and adaptability to shade.
The bloom resembles a wild rose, though the plant is unrelated to roses. Breeders have used several species to create a wide range of flower colors and markings; these include white, yellow, cherry, apricot, bluish purple and purple-black. Single and double forms are available.
