Helleborus ‘Brandywine’ is a shade-loving Lenten rose that thrives in part to full shade with rich, well-drained soil. This hybrid produces a delightful mix of downward-facing flowers in shades of pink, cream, salmon, and burgundy from late winter into early spring. The evergreen foliage provides year-round structure in the garden. Portland gardeners value its early bloom time when few other perennials are flowering.
