I was on a property in Wyoming, Ohio this week and noticed a spectacular Early Spring sight, the Lenten Rose (Hellebore) in bloom.
This is probably my most favorite of the Late Winter and Early Spring flowers, which blooms as early as February.
There is a property in Amberly Village, Ohio that I have found the Hellebore still blooming in August.
The latin name for this Early bloomer is Helleborus Orientalis and is known to be hardy from USDA zone 4 to 9.
I hope these pictures have inspired you to get outside and plant something beautiful. The Lenten Rose does well in partial shade to full Shade. They enjoy rich organic soils that are well drained. Another consideration is to plant the Lenten Rose in a protected area that shields it from Winter winds.
