Helleborus Orientalis Nigra

Helleborus Orientalis Nigra, commonly known as the Black Hellebore or Lenten Rose, is a perennial plant that typically grows to a height of 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm). It has attractive dark purple to black flowers that bloom from late winter to early spring.

To grow Helleborus Orientalis Nigra, choose a well-drained location with partial shade or filtered sunlight. Prepare the soil by adding organic matter and ensure it remains moist but not waterlogged. Plant the rhizomes at the same level as they were in the nursery container and space them about 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 cm) apart.

Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular watering and fertilization will promote healthy growth and blooming. Prune back the foliage in late winter before new growth emerges.

With proper care, Helleborus Orientalis Nigra can thrive and provide beautiful dark blooms in your garden.
