Winter Jewels Black Diamond Lenten Rose
Helleborus 'Black Diamond'
With jet-black blooms, Winter Jewels Black Diamond Lenten Rose (or Hellebore) makes a striking statement in a part-shade border. This hardy hellebore’s fantastic flower show is complemented by grass-green leaves, which carry on through the rest of the season as its blossoms fade, providing winter interest.
UPDATE 2023: After spending a couple years of getting established, this hellebore is looking great this spring. My only complaint is the flowers are downturned more than I would like.
POSTED 2019: I’ve had a couple of Ivory Prince hellebores along the front sidewalk for years. They are beautiful plants – but expensive and don’t like to be moved – so I’ve hesitated to buy more until I saw Black Diamond in the nursery. I think it needs a little more TLC than I normally give my plants – the new growth is nice but the flowers look a bit shoddy, possibly due to slug damage.
