Viv Rosa is an attractive evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial hellebore (commonly called a Lenten rose), valued for its delicate late-winter blooms and year-round foliage interest.
 
🌸 Flower Characteristics:
Produces single, soft pink to white flowers with a gentle blush of pink — giving a romantic, luminous look in the garden.
Flowers typically appear from late autumn through early spring, bringing welcome color at a time when few other perennials are in bloom.
 
🌿 Foliage & Habit:
Forms a compact, bushy clump of leathery, dark green leaves often with subtle marbling or silver veining.
Evergreen or semi-evergreen foliage provides texture and interest throughout much of the year.
Typically grows to about 12–18 inches tall and wide, making it suitable for borders, beds, containers, and woodland settings.
 
🌤 Growing Conditions:
Thrives in partial shade to full shade, especially where afternoon sun is limited.
Prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
Hardy in a range of temperate climates commonly suited to hellebores (e.g., USDA Zones 5–8).
 
🌼 Landscape Uses:
Adds early-season color to shaded gardens, woodland plantings, foundation beds, and containers.
Works well in mixed borders alongside spring bulbs, ferns, and other shade perennials.
 
🌱 Benefits:
Low-maintenance perennial that returns reliably year after year.
Foliage and blooms are attractive to early pollinators and generally deer-resistant like other hellebores.
