Description
In the transition from late winter to early spring, Helleborus Frostkiss® Anna's Red graces the garden with its stunning burgundy blooms that linger for an impressive two months or more. Adorned with 8-10 clusters of flowers against a backdrop of sturdy, evergreen leaves intricately marbled in cream, it stands out as a captivating feature in our nursery gardens.
These woodland gems, native to Europe and western Asia, belong to the Helleborus genus, encompassing approximately 20 perennial species. They typically bloom in early winter in milder climates and in late winter or early spring where the soil freezes, often marking the onset or conclusion of the flowering season in the garden. Flourishing in moist yet well-drained sites with partial shade, they thrive when the soil is enriched with organic matter such as aged leaf mold and compost. In return, they offer enduring, deer- and vole-resistant plants that gracefully spread over time.
