Helleborus Frostless Penny Pinks

Helleborus x Frostkiss® 'Penny's Pink', commonly called Frostless Penny Pinks or Penny's Pink Lenten Rose, is an exceptional evergreen perennial valued for its vibrant, long-lasting winter and early spring blooms and marbled foliage. The plant forms a compact clump, reaching 18–24 inches tall and wide, with leathery, dark green leaves marked by bold pink, purple, and bronze veins that mature to a striking emerald green. From late winter into early spring, upright stems display broad, deep mauve-pink flowers with crown-like yellow stamens, opening from purple buds and holding their color as they mature—providing vivid color when little else is in flower.
