Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This Hellebore thrives in partial to full shade. While it can handle some morning sun, too much direct afternoon heat will scorch the leaves; aim for a spot that mimics the dappled light of a forest floor.
Soil: Plant in rich, organic soil that drains well but holds some moisture. If you have heavy clay, mix in plenty of compost or leaf mold to improve aeration and prevent the roots from sitting in stagnant water.

Watering Requirements

During the first year, water weekly to keep the soil consistently moist as the root system settles. Once established, Pink Frost is surprisingly drought tolerant, but inconsistent moisture during the summer can lead to smaller buds the following winter. Aim for deep soakings during dry spells rather than frequent light sprinkles to encourage deep root growth.

Pruning Tips

Pink Frost blooms on old wood, meaning the flower buds form on the stems from the previous season. In late winter or very early spring, just as the new flower stalks emerge, clip off the tattered, brown leaves from last year at the base of the plant. This "haircut" removes overwintering fungal spores and allows the fresh, pink blooms to take center stage without being hidden by old foliage.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer or a layer of well rotted manure in early spring as new growth appears. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or fall because this can stimulate soft, lush growth that is easily damaged by the first hard frost.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

Simply gorgeous Gold® Collection Pink Frost Lenten Rose (Helleborus 'Pink Frost' PP# 21063) gives you something to look forward to all winter! These stunning, color-changing blooms start off a luminous pale pink atop reddish stems and red-edged, serrated foliage! The outward-facing pink flowers make it so easy to enjoy their charms!

Although they look tender, these rugged herbaceous perennial Hellebores are actually tough as nails! Best of all, these stunning plants give you colorful flowers at an otherwise bleak time of year. These welcome flowers start in late winter, and last all the way through early spring!

Free-flowering and cold-hardy Pink Frost can provide up to 60 blooms on average per mature plant! That's loads of nectar-rich blooms for early emerging pollinators and for much-needed early spring bouquets! Each bloom is accented with a magically intricate center of stamens and anthers.

Gold® Collection Pink Frost Lenten Rose delivers a magical experience for you and your guests to enjoy. Compact, upright mounds of dark green foliage provide a perfect counterpoint. Palmately compound leaves show off five thick, serrated leaflets. With a wonderfully uniform shape, Lenten Roses bring a sophisticated fill long past the blooming time, too!

Planting and Application:

They make a marvelous addition with spring-flowering bulbs in a high-profile spot with partial shade. Plant around water features and moist shade gardens where they can soak up the rich organic environments, and be used as fringe around larger shade garden plants like Ferns and Hosta. The foliage is the perfect complement to Bleeding Hearts and Astilbe!

Create groupings of Helleborus with spring ephemerals like Muscari and Snowdrops for a refreshing break from the winter doldrums! Mingle among Dwarf Iris and Crocus for that burst of color and food for pollinators emerging early in the spring. Beneficial pollinators certainly love their nectar. This early-blooming plant is a mainstay in Pollinator Gardens, tucked under the dappled shade of taller flowering shrubs.

The foliage can remain semi-evergreen in warmer climates and mild winters, so use this lush green fringe as edging and in groupings to highlight later emerging plants with a leafy skirt! Tuck into Cottage borders, meditation gardens, wildflower berms and of course - cut flower gardens for loads of early bouquet additions to go with your forced Forsythia stems!

Gold® Collection Pink Frost Lenten Roses makes a very lovely choice for a gift plant! They are perfect for beginning gardeners, and a fan favorite with plant connoisseurs alike!
