An evergreen perennial offering year-round interest. Incredibly floriferous and long lasting, Candy Love flowers heavily for weeks, from late winter to late spring. The large, 3-4 inch, saucer shaped flowers open as a pale creamy apricot, gradually darken to blush pink and mature to a dusty purple tinged pink and red. Borne in multicolored clusters on purple stems, the outward-facing blooms, unusual for a hellebore, make wonderful kitchen table bouquets and also work as lovely additions to cut flower arrangements. Prefers dappled shade and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Can reach up to 18” tall. Hardy to Zone 3. Photo courtesy of Wayside Gardens.
