WINTER BALLET® KATIE LENTEN ROSE
Helleborus x lemperii 'HL 1042' (marketed as HGC® Winter Ballet® Katie) is an interspecific hybrid resulting from a cross between Helleborus niger and Helleborus x hybridus. As one of the earliest-blooming selections in the Heuger Gold Collection's Winter Ballet® series, it begins opening large, outward and upward-facing saucer blooms as early as October or November and continues through early spring. The rounded sepals display a soft rose-pink hue that radiates into a diffuse white center surrounding a prominent boss of golden-yellow stamens, providing high visual impact without the downward-nodding habit of traditional Lenten roses.
In the landscape, 'Katie' forms a vigorous, tidy mound of leathery, dark green evergreen foliage reaching 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Hardy across USDA Zones 5 through 9, it thrives in partial to full shade in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained, neutral-to-alkaline soil, while benefiting from its H. niger parentage for superior cold tolerance and weather resilience. Because all plant tissues contain toxic cardiac glycosides and ranunculin, it is reliably deer and rabbit-resistant, requiring only the removal of weathered foliage in late winter to showcase emerging flower buds in woodland borders, shaded foundations, and cool-season patio containers.
