How to grow lenten rose

Helleborus orientalis

When to plant lenten rose

Propagate lenten rose by dividing the clumps in spring or from seed (NC State). It needs a shady, wind-protected spot with well-drained, moist soil; it is intolerant of bright winter sun and high temperatures.

Lenten Rose is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
