Frostkiss® 'Anna's Red' Hellebore

Frostkiss® Anna’s Red is a compact winter hellebore with deep burgundy-red flowers above marbled evergreen leaves, suited to a sheltered part-shade border, woodland edge, or patio container. Park Seed identifies the selection as Helleborus × hybridus ‘ABCRD02’ (PP 24,720), 18 inches tall and wide in USDA zones 5–8; its profile supports these size, color, exposure, and hardiness details. [Park Seed’s cultivar profile](https://www.parkseed.com/products/helleborus-frostkiss-annas-red-hellebore-v2664) provides those specifications. ## Flowers and placement The dark red flowers rise on sturdy stems, while the green leaves carry contrasting cream marbling. Plant in part shade in organically rich, moist but well-drained soil; afternoon protection helps the foliage through summer. The plant can be grouped in a border or grown in a large container, and its flowers are suitable for small indoor arrangements. ## Seasonal interest Anna’s Red begins flowering in winter and continues into early spring. The long-lived blooms and evergreen foliage keep the planting present through the quietest part of the garden year. [The Frostkiss technical guide](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/86200) describes the cultivar’s burgundy flowers and winter-to-spring flowering window. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist while the plant establishes, then avoid both prolonged drought and waterlogged soil. Remove worn leaves as flower stems emerge so the blooms remain visible, and leave healthy foliage in place to protect the crown.
