Large, pendent or outward-facing, deep purple-black flowers appear in late winter and early spring adding interest to shady borders, woodland gardens or patio pots. The brooding colour of Harvington Shades of the Night forms an interesting contrast when planted next to glowing snowdrops and creamy white daffodils.
Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to reduce/minimise the spread of any foliar diseases (such as hellebore leaf spot if present.
Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring. Cut off the seed heads to prevent inferior seedlings colonising.
