Sold OutHelleborus Honeymoon ‘Black Tie Affair’ Hellebore (lenten rose)
Shade-tolerant perennial. Plant in a spot that receives sunlight in the spring and some shade in the summer, like under a deciduous shrub or a tree, or under a gazebo that fills in with foliage in the summer.
‘Black Tie Affair’ has 3″, double black flowers with a lighter center.
Blooms for 2-3 months, from March-April to June.
In our garden (Marina from Halifax Perennials) hellebores grow in a full sun spot among other perennials. In spring, when hellebores bloom, they receive lots of sunlight, as most perennials are just starting to come up from the ground. In the summer, neighbouring plants protect hellebores from the heat.
