Planting & Care Instructions
Planting & Care Instructions
Growing Zones 4-9
The North Star™ Garnet Frills Lenten Rose (Helleborus x hybridus 'Garnet Frills') is a spectacular evergreen perennial that turns late winter into a show-stopping season with its deeply ruffled, double blooms in rich garnet-red. Each petal is edged and textured for extra flair, making the flowers appear almost velvety in cool garden light. These blooms, held proudly above glossy green foliage, last for weeks and often deepen in tone as the season progresses.
Deer and rabbit resistant, this variety keeps its beauty even in challenging conditions. Growing 1-2 feet tall and wide, the North Star™ Garnet Frills forms a dense, clumping mound of evergreen foliage that adds structure to the garden year-round in mild-winter climates.
Its thick, leathery leaves stay attractive in every season, while the sturdy stems hold up the blooms beautifully through wind, rain, and even snow. This variety produces blooms that are as lovely in the vase as they are in the landscape, making it both an early garden feature and a florist's treasure.
