Helleborus × hybridus 'Double Black' | Double Black Lenten Rose

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Helleborus × hybridus ‘Double Black’ is an evergreen perennial with clumps of leathery green leaves above nodding double flowers. Each bloom has many layers of deep purple-black petals around a cluster of pale stamens. Flowering begins in late winter and continues into early spring, often from January through April, adding color in the cool season.

‘Double Black’ is a selected seed strain of hybrid Lenten rose from specialist breeding programs such as Ashwood Garden Hybrids and Cistus Nursery. Plants are raised from parent stock chosen to maintain the double black coloration and heavy bloom. Evergreen foliage and a long flowering season suit woodland borders, shaded beds, and containers near paths or patios.
