This stunning hellebore's 2½-3" cup-shaped flowers emerge in enchanting shades of black, from deep grey-purple to jet black and black-purple, creating a sophisticated display from late winter through mid spring. An exceptional choice for naturalizing in woodland gardens, shaded pathways or as a bold focal point in mixed borders, these hardy perennials offer vital nectar to early pollinators while standing up to both deer and drought. The long-lasting blooms make striking cut flowers.
