The Wedding Party® Dark and Handsome Lenten Rose is an exciting plant to include in your landscape. This Helleborus hybrid is one of the first plants to appear in the spring, it is low maintenance, and the flowers are absolutely striking. Large, double blooms are 2.5 to 3 inches across. The black petals have a tinge of purple and surround bold yellow centers. The flowers bloom during the spring, but the beautiful green foliage sticks around for the rest of the growing season.
Plant this beauty in borders or create a lovely mass planting. This easy-care plant can thrive in a container where it takes on the filler role, and the blooms can be cut to display in a vase. The foliage is deer and rabbit resistant so that you can enjoy its good looks throughout the growing season. The Wedding Party® Dark and Handsome Lenten Rose will grow as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 9.
Wedding Party® Dark and Handsome Lenten Rose Care
Lenten Rose prefers partial to full shade, so this plant can thrive and provide dramatic color in areas most plants simply cannot call home. Plant near trees or tall plants that will block direct sunlight and provide shade. This plant is easy to grow in any soil, but expect the best results from rich, well-draining, neutral, or slightly alkaline soil. Lenten Rose has medium water needs, although the plant will need somewhat more water during the first growing season.
Amend the soil when planting or top dress the soil for existing plants using organic compost or manure. This plant seldom needs fertilizer if grown in rich soil, but apply a balanced plant food throughout the growing season if the soil quality is low. Plant Hellebores in an area protected from high winds, which can damage the delicate foliage. Torn leaves can be removed as necessary.
Wedding Party® Dark and Handsome Lenten Rose Spacing
This perennial can reach 18 to 24 inches tall and spread out just as far. The plants can be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart from center to center for a dense planting. Feature in a large container for more flexible placement options.

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.
