Spotlight Plants
Hellebore
Hellebores, also known as Christmas Roses or Lenten Roses, are winter-blooming perennials that add color to the garden during the coldest months. Their nodding, cup-shaped flowers come in shades of white, pink, purple, and green, providing a cheerful display when few other plants are in bloom. Native to Europe and Asia, Hellebores thrive in partial shade and well-drained, rich soil. They are relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal watering once established. In Cedarburg, Hellebores can bloom from late winter into early spring, adding early-season interest to the garden. Hellebores are perfect for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and underplanting shrubs and trees. Their evergreen foliage and long-lasting blooms make them a valuable addition to the garden. By planting Hellebores, you can enjoy their beauty and resilience during the winter months.
