Christmas Rose (Helleborus Niger) - Christmas Rose seeds can be started to grow this unique ornamental that blooms in the winter. Helleborus Niger Christmas Rose has a rugged, coarse-textured, leathery, shiny green foliage that remains attractive year-round. The plant is stemless, herbaceous and can be used as a ground cover that reaches 12 - 18 inches tall and spreads about the same across.
Common Questions
Why is it called a Christmas rose?
Originally native to mountainous central Europe, Helleborus niger is commonly known as the "Christmas rose" because it flowers during the winter, typically around Christmastime in mild climates. According to old folklore, it was believed to have emerged in the snow, said to have grown from the tears of a young girl who had no gift to present to Christ in Bethlehem.
Will plants return each year?
Christmas roses are a perennial and will come back every year after dormancy when planted in the correct hardiness zones.
Where do Christmas roses grow best?
The Christmas rose thrives when planted beneath a deciduous tree. This positioning provides the ideal shade in summer and the necessary sunlight in winter. Selecting the right location with proper drainage, neutral to alkaline soil, and suitable lighting is crucial for maintaining healthy evergreen leaves and preventing crown rot disease.
