Flowering profusely in early or mid-spring, the Royal Heritage™ Lenten Rose is ideal for brightening up the start of the year. Also called, Helleborus x Royal Heritage™, this Lenten Rose produces dark green foliage against white to deep purple blooms for a beautiful contrast. Royal Heritage™ is a vigorous hellebore that grows to around 2 feet tall.
Being low maintenance, the Royal Heritage™ Lenten Rose tends to look after itself once established. Tolerated by deer, the foliage is evergreen and attractive in winter. This plant is often used for underplanting and woodland gardens due to its love of shade. You can also grow Royal Heritage™ Lenten Rose in a container or pot. It is suited to growing in zones 5 to 8.
Royal Heritage™ Lenten Rose Care
As a shade-loving perennial, Royal Heritage™ Lenten Rose prefers either full or partial shade. When it comes to the soil, it favors rich and moist, yet well-drained soil that is alkaline or neutral. Regular irrigation is needed to prevent the soil from drying out. For the best flowering display, you can feed this hellebore with a general slow-release fertilizer in late spring.
In late winter, you can remove any old and brown foliage to make way for the new growth. Its blooms will remain attractive for many months, and can be removed in spring to tidy up the plant. Divide mature plants in the autumn as required.
Royal Heritage™ Lenten Rose Spacing
As a vigorous hellebore, Royal Heritage™ Lenten Rose can reach 18 to 24 inches high and 24 to 36 inches across. A spacing of around 30 to 36 inches is recommended when planting it out as a group.

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.
