With big blooms the color of apricots, Honeymoon Sandy Shores Lenten Rose (Helleborus hybrid) makes a subtle but colorful statement in the landscape. Once you “meet” a hellebore, you are likely to fall in love with their unique flowers, and the honeymoon will never be over with this pretty multicolored hybrid. Hardy in zones 4 through 9 and able to grow in most soil types, this is a versatile perennial for garden beds and containers.

Sandy Shores can tolerate salt and periods of drought, so caring for the plant is easy. It grows upright to nearly 2 feet high and around, so it can fill a container or be planted in groups to create a low border or mass of rose and apricot-colored blooms. The flowers appear in spring against the backdrop of pretty green rose-like leaves and attract bees to the garden. Deer and rabbits avoid the plants.

Honeymoon® Sandy Shores Lenten Rose Care

Hellebores produce these pretty blooms in shady conditions, so be sure to place your Honeymoon Sandy Shores in at least partial shade, especially in warmer zones to protect it from hot afternoon sun. Choose just about any soil, but the plant prefers alkaline or neutral soil. Just be sure it drains well enough to prevent the area around the plant’s roots from becoming soggy. You can mulch around the hellebore after planting to help cool the soil and feed the roots, but be sure to keep the crown of the plant above the mulch, not buried in it. Organic mulch helps keep the soil rich, but you can add a granular, balanced fertilizer each spring.

Although slightly drought tolerant, Lenten Rose needs average, regular watering. The soil can be slightly moist, but not soggy, so plan watering according to soil moisture. Otherwise, this is an easy-care plant. Just cut away old leaves as new growth begins to appear in late winter or early spring. Removing old growth is not critical, but gives new branches room to fill in. You can remove old flower stems as they fade in spring, and can even cut fresh ones to bring inside.

Honeymoon® Sandy Shores Lenten Rose Spacing

Fill a garden bed or container with Honeymoon Sandy Shores Lenten Rose for multicolored, apricot-tinted interest. Space hellebores about 18 to 24 inches apart from one center to another so each has room to fill out each spring.

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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
