This is a relatively new cultivar that is a prolific bloomer. It produces its whopping flat-faced flowers (up to 7cm across) from late winter to mid-spring above the silver-marbled foliage. Use it to drift beneath trees and shrubs, or line a partially shaded pathway with it - you won’t be disappointed.
How to care for Helleborus (Rodney Davey Marbled Group) Penny's Pink ('Abcrd01') (PBR) (Frostkiss Series):

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
