Black Beauty

[callmemadam]

I wrote recently that I was not too keen on fashionably dark hellebores as they tend to make a hole in the border. This one was given to me by a friend, so naturally I planted it and was grateful. It's darker than it looks in the picture.



Knowing my source, I think this was probably grown by RD Plants and rejected as not being good enough to name. Something has been eating it. The green leaf is arum, not hellebore.

Thank you: lovely pics. Next year I'll try and take some photos at the Hellebore Day which is held near here in a friend's garden.
