Helleborus hybridus ‘Black Diamond’ at Digging Dog Nursery

Winter Jewels® Hellebore

Helleborus

Christmas Rose/Lenten Rose

Stories about this genus are countless. In medieval times, it was considered a weapon against witches, madness and evil spirits. Hellebores deserve a place in every garden, not only because of their supposed power, but because they bloom for a long time, early in winter, when the weather is cool and many plants are still dormant. Most like moist, loamy soil with lime and leaf mold. We like them as ground covers for deciduous shrubs, conifers, or broad-leafed evergreens, and when possible plant them in an elevated spot to admire their flowers.

<i>Helleborus</i> x <i>hybridus</i> ‘Black Diamond’

Mustering a mysterious wintertime element for shady nooks, large cup-shaped single blooms present pearlescent centers encompassed by seductive shades of dark violet, purplish burgundy, smoky midnight and nearly black. The ultraluxe floral profusion tops firm dark mahogany stalks and beefy palmate evergreen leaves that sculpt a gleaming deep green mound. Named Perennial Plant of the Year in 2005, this valiant Marietta O’Byrne seed strain can lounge alongside Asplenium ‘Cristatum’ and Cyclamen coum.
