Because it is more sun tolerant than classic hellebores, Picotee takes brighter positions, though afternoon shade is the safer choice where summers are hot. It is frost hardy. Hot, humid summers are the real test, and in the humid subtropics a pot in shade is the sensible way to grow it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil enriched with compost.

The flowers are white with each petal edged in pale pink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Ice N Roses Picotee toxic to pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All parts of the plant are poisonous if eaten, and the sap may irritate bare skin. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, and wear gloves to cut it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far apart should I plant it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifty centimetres apart.
