Wedding Party® 'Father of the Bride' Lenten Rose (Helleborus)

(Lenten Rose) Helleborus WEDDING PARTY® 'Father of the Bride' is a truly elegant addition to the early spring garden, offering blooms that bring a touch of romance and sophistication when little else is in flower. Part of the renowned WEDDING PARTY® series, this variety features large, fully double blossoms in soft shades of creamy yellow and kissed with gentle burgundy speckles near the center. Each flower seems to float gracefully above the deep evergreen foliage, adding timeless charm and texture to shady spaces.

Blooming from late winter into early spring, 'Father of the Bride' is a welcome sign of new beginnings after the long winter months. The flowers are long-lasting both on the plant and in cut arrangements and will often remain attractive for several weeks. This hellebore thrives in part to full shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil, making it an ideal choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and foundation plantings.

Hardy in zones 4 to 9, this deer- and rabbit-resistant perennial is not only beautiful but dependable, returning year after year with minimal care. Its evergreen foliage provides structure even after the blooms fade, ensuring year-round interest in the garden. WEDDING PARTY® 'Father of the Bride' pairs beautifully with ferns, heucheras, and early bulbs for a stunning spring display.
