Helleborus lividus
‘Pink Marble’
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 lividus ‘Pink Marble’ 
Pewter-veined, slate green polished foliage and whitish green saucer-shaped flowers poised for easy viewing are what this new cultivar has to offer. Wine-tinted stems and dusky pink leaf undersides, round buds and petal backs provide a cozy counterpoint amid the stiff, 3-lobed leaves and captivating blooms that flatten with age. Tuck Black Mondo Grass in and around ‘Pink Marble’, and where winters are harsh let it grace a container to be brought inside when the temperature drops. Zone 7/8.
Blooms February–April Size: 15" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 8. Helleborus lividus Pink Marble (p-1477)
