Ice N' Roses Rosado Hellebore
Best shade-loving perennial for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, deer-resistant winter color.
Most hellebores hide their faces, but this hybrid turns its blooms upward to actually show off in the shade. It’s a low-maintenance, deer-resistant evergreen that provides year-round structure, though you will need to commit to consistently moist, rich soil to keep it looking its best.
