Collector’s-Choice Winter Blooms in Unique Jewel Tones
Rare Winter Flowers for Shade Gardens
Helleborus ‘Pine Knot Select’ stands out as one of the most exceptional Lenten Roses available. This hand-selected strain boasts a stunning range of bloom colors, from soft rose and mauve to deep plum and creamy white. Each flower is unique, appearing in late winter and lasting well into spring, bringing vibrant color when the garden needs it most.
Evergreen Growth and Compact Form
This hybrid hellebore grows 12–18 inches tall and wide, forming a tidy, mounded habit of glossy, evergreen foliage. Its leathery leaves provide structure year-round, while the nodding blooms rise gracefully above the foliage. Perfect for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or container plantings, Pine Knot Select brings a natural woodland charm to every landscape.
Hardy, Deer-Resistant, and Long-Lived
Pine Knot Select thrives in partial to full shade and well-drained, humus-rich soil. Once established, it’s highly drought-tolerant and resistant to deer and rabbits. With minimal care, this evergreen perennial can live for decades, rewarding gardeners with dependable blooms each late winter season.
A Pollinator-Friendly Four-Season Favorite
Not only is Pine Knot Select beautiful, but it’s also beneficial for the garden ecosystem. Its early blooms provide nectar for pollinators emerging from winter dormancy, while its evergreen foliage adds texture through every season. Pair it with hostas, ferns, or heucheras for a layered and elegant shade composition.

How should I plant Helleborus ‘Pine Knot Select’?
Choose a location with partial to full shade and well-drained, humus-rich soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the plant with the crown at soil level, then backfill and water deeply. Space plants about 18 inches apart to allow for air circulation and mature growth. Apply a light mulch to retain soil moisture but avoid covering the crown, as that can cause rot.

When should I fertilize Helleborus ‘Pine Knot Select’?
Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer or organic compost as new growth begins. This supports strong flowering and healthy evergreen foliage. An annual top-dressing of compost in midsummer will continue enriching the soil naturally and help the plant perform year after year.
When and how should I prune Helleborus ‘Pine Knot Select’?
In late winter, before buds appear, remove any old or damaged leaves to make way for new blooms and reduce disease risk. After flowering, trim spent flower stems at the base. Avoid pruning new, healthy leaves during summer—they keep the plant photosynthesizing and attractive through every season.
