Helleborus 'Apricot Blush'
Lenten Rose
Plant Type: Perennial
Exposure: Morning Sun / Afternoon Shade Shade Tolerant
The unique coloration of this variety is perfectly described by its name. Since it is from seed, each flower is a little different but all ‘Apricot Blush’ flowers fall in the color range of peachy yellow to apricot with varying degrees of bright rose veining, speckling, and picotee edges. Often the backs of the petals are marked with red pigments as well, which is a lovely touch for these downward facing blossoms. ‘Apricot Blush’ produces very large single flowers measuring about 3-4 inches across. It is an exceptionally vigorous selection that grows much like ‘Cherry Blossom’, a pink member of the series.
