Lenten Rose is an early bloomer known for stunning flowers. The Honeymoon® Irish Luck Lenten Rose is a Hellebore that features single blooms with five petals in a light green hue with a contrasting burgundy eye. Flowers bloom from mid to late spring and are often the first flowers to welcome in the season. The flowers are complemented by medium-green foliage with serrated edges. The greenery stays in place after the flowers fade.
Grow the Honeymoon® Irish Luck Lenten Rose in an eye-catching mass planting or in a container. Trim the stems to display the lovely flowers in an arrangement. The flowers support bees early in the spring, and the greenery is not favored by foraging animals like rabbits and deer. Grow the Honeymoon® Irish Luck Lenten Rose as a perennial in zones 4 through 9.
Honeymoon® Irish Luck Lenten Rose Care
Plant the Honeymoon® Irish Luck Lenten Rose in partial to full shade. This plant thrives in shady spots, like underneath trees or near buildings. The soil should be rich, neutral to slightly alkaline, and well drained. Amend the soil with organic compost or mulch when planting to support new growth. Plants grown in rich soil will not need fertilizer, but plants in low-quality soil will benefit from a balanced plant food applied in the spring. Water when the top few inches of the soil are dry.
Strong winds can damage the delicate foliage. Plant your Hellebore in a protected area to prevent wind damage, and remove ripped or torn leaves as necessary. The old foliage can be removed in early winter to allow the beautiful flowers to be visible. New foliage will emerge in spring.
Honeymoon® Irish Luck Lenten Rose Spacing
The Honeymoon® Irish Luck Lenten Rose stands 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart to create a full mass planting. Feature 2 Lenten Rose plants in a 12-inch container.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
