Helleborus x ballardiae ‘HGC Pink Frost’
at Digging Dog
Christmas Rose/Lenten Rose
Stories about this genus are countless. In medieval times, it was considered a weapon against
witches, madness and evil spirits. Hellebores deserve a place in every garden, not only because of their
supposed power, but because they bloom for a long time, early in winter, when the weather is cool and most
other flowers are still dormant.
They like moist, loamy soil with lime and leaf mold. We like them as ground covers for deciduous shrubs, conifers, or broad-leafed evergreens, and when possible plant them
in an elevated spot to admire their nodding flowers. Helleborus x ballardiae ‘HGC Pink Frost’ 
An exciting new cultivar from The Helleborus Gold Collection, hybridized by German plantsman, Josef Heuger, ‘Pink Frost’ is esteemed for its captivating floriferous display and its robust versatile bearing. A multicolored effect is created as a legion of burgundy buds unfurl antique-toned pink petals, which encompass blonde clustered stamens, and eventually mature to a deeper rosy red.
Forging a silver dappled evergreen clump of thick, small-toothed, red-petioled leaves, this Helleborus lividus and Helleborus niger progeny is tailor-made for container culture and obliges a wide range of light conditions including deep shade, full sun and everything in between. (USPPP)
Blooms January – March. Size: 9"–15" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 5. Helleborus x ballardiae ‘HGC Pink Frost’ (P-1618)
