Helleborus Ice N Roses Merlot

Common Name: Lenten Rose 'Ice N' Roses Merlot'

Description: The 'Ice N' Roses Merlot' is a striking evergreen perennial known for its deep merlot-red, forward-facing flowers that bloom from late winter into spring. These vibrant blooms are complemented by glossy, dark green foliage, providing a dramatic contrast in shaded garden areas. This robust variety thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring partial shade to full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
