I have grown many varieties of helleborus for years, and this is the best one I've ever seen. It blooms in great bunches of flowers. The heads really do face out and up. The color is lucious pink at the top of it's bloom period and then as it ages the blooms turn all shades of rose, pink, and burgundy. It loves moist soil. It HATES dry soil and will let you know by wilting to the ground.

"Pink Frost" is a selected cultivar of Helleborus x ballardiae, a cross between H. Niger, the Christams rose, and the less common H. lividus from the island of Mallorca.
