About this plant
Helleborus × Ballardiae Gold Collection HGC 'Pink Frost' is a captivating evergreen perennial renowned for its profusion of outward-facing, blush-pink flowers that mature to a deeper rose. Blooming from late winter through early spring, 'Pink Frost' provides essential color when little else is stirring in the garden. Its leathery, dark green foliage forms an attractive mound, offering year-round appeal. Beyond its beauty, this Lenten Rose is exceptionally hardy, deer-resistant, and relatively low-maintenance, making it an ideal choice for woodland gardens, shady borders, or container plantings.
Care & maintenance
Prefers well-drained, organically rich soil. Water regularly during dry periods, especially in the first year. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms for a tidier appearance, though this is not strictly necessary for continued flowering. Protect from harsh winter winds.
