2027 is the Year of the Hellebore, and these photos show the colors and flower forms that make hellebores (also called Lenten roses and Christmas roses) a favorite for late-winter and early-spring gardens. Browse single, double and outward-facing blooms in shades from pure white and blush pink to deep burgundy and nearly black. These evergreen, deer-resistant perennials thrive in shade and bloom when little else does.#YearoftheHellebore
