Plant description

This recently introduced cultivar has already created a bit of a stir among gardening circles with its delicious-looking, chocolate-coloured flowers. These many-petalled, saucer-shaped blooms appear above the leathery, deep green leaves from February to April. This lenten rose creates a stunning ground cover for areas of dappled shade under deciduous trees and shrubs. Try mixing it with a lime green, spring-flowering Euphorbia for a stunning combination. Like all hellebores, they prefer a heavy, neutral to alkaline soil.

Care guide

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 get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot. 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.
