Deep, near-black flowers make a striking statement in early to mid-spring, standing out against the glossy, dark green, evergreen foliage.

The nodding, double blooms of Helleborus × hybridus 'Dark and Handsome' emerge on sturdy stems, creating a dramatic focal point in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or beneath deciduous trees.

This reliable and deer-resistant lenten rose thrives in dappled shade, gradually forming clumps in moist, well-drained soil. It is low-maintenance, once established, and long-lived, making it an excellent choice for naturalising.

Part of the Wedding Party Series, this hellebore provides valuable early-season colour and works beautifully in cut-flower arrangements when floated in water.
