Hellebores have large leathery, evergreen leaves and saucer-shaped flowers in shades of white, pink, purple and green. They're a fantastic source of colour in the winter garden, and their flowers are popular with early bees.
Ashwood Garden Hybrids are a strain of Helleborus x hybridus, and are regarded as some of the best hellebore hybrids available. There are many cultivars to choose from – all are healthy and robust plants, and produce flowers in a variety of colours and forms.
Helleborus 'Garden Black' bears dark purple, almost black single flowers. Like all hellebores, Helleborus 'Garden Black' dislike being moved once established, so should not be divided. Given the right conditions, it will self-seed quite sufficiently to provide replacements.
