Introducing ‘Brandywine’ hellebore, a Lenten rose with an array of vibrant hues, including dark red, spotted pink, and apricot! Blooms first appear in late winter to early spring, providing a splash of early-season color to wake up the landscape while other perennials and shrubs lay dormant. Like other Lenten rose varieties, ‘Brandywine’ thrives in moist shade gardens or areas with dappled shade, making it a versatile landscape option. Early-season pollinators like bumblebees and hoverflies will be delighted by the nectar-rich flowers, a welcome source of fuel for the season. Not only is this lovely perennial beautiful, but it’s also deer-resistant, evergreen, and drought-tolerant.
