Lenten Rose Almanac October 2010

The beautiful shade perennial, hellebore Orientalis, commonly known as our hero, the Lenten Rose, prized by master gardeners throughout the world, in October, is putting up new growth as it begins the 'foliage phase' of a new perennial cycle. The hardy lush green ground cover of last years growth remains and continues to thrive even as the inevitable perennial clock ticks away at its' time left before laying over leaf and stem to compost, protect and nourish its fallen seeds. Perennial cycles cross fade slowly. The new growth with the old - ever so slowly.
