(Lenten Rose) The party keeps getting larger, and you can’t forget the Mother of the Bride! The WEDDING PARTY® series of Helleborus features large, vibrant double blooming flowers. ‘Mother of the Bride’ has beautiful, fully double, 3 inch blooms that are shades of yellow, peach and pink. This larger frilly bloom puts on an early show of color in your spring garden. Typically here in Michigan, they bloom around the end of March. The dark green evergreen foliage forms a mound that stands 18-24 inches tall and wide and perfectly compliments the flowers. Lenten Rose is one of the first flowers to bloom in the garden, and the blooms last for several weeks. Even after they are past their peak they bring color and interest to the garden. Planted in part to full shade locations, WEDDING PARTY® ‘Mother of the Bride’ prefers fertile soil conditions. There is no need to worry about deer or rabbits browsing this plant, the thick, slightly sharp foliage is of no interest to them. Helleborus are great for shade gardens, patio containers, and garden borders. Easy to grow and drought-tolerant are just a few of the attributes we like. WEDDING PARTY® ‘Mother of the Bride’ makes a wonderful bouquet of indoor blooms.
