Here is the new growth on the Lot’s lenten rose (Helleborus x hybridus) after a dousing of snow. The temperature today is predicted to max out in the mid-thirties. Brr. The perennial is an evergreen acclimated to Zones 4-9 so it should be able to weather through this. No pun intended. Well, maybe a little. In comparison, this gardener is ready for the more warm temperatures of Spring.
