One of the new hybrid hellebores, Helleborus x hybridus Double Anna Red is an evergreen perennial, a beautiful addition to the winter border, lovely with bulbs, pulmonarias and other early perennials. The dark-green leaves are deeply divided into three leaflets. In late winter and early spring, Lenten rose Double Anna Red bears double, crimson flowers, held above the foliage. As flower-buds begin to form, cut away last year’s leaves to allow new growth to appear and to prevent fungal disease; mulching with leaf-mould is also beneficial.
