Latin Name: Helleborus 'New York Night'

Description: Part of the Honeymoon series, this variety of hellebore features large, single, saucer-shaped, deep purple (almost black) flowers with five petals, and a central protrusion of wispy ivory stamens. These nodding blossoms rise on thick, sturdy stems above leathery, palmate, deep green evergreen foliage in the early spring, putting on a dramatic, long-lasting show for weeks on end. This elegant beauty is an excellent choice for all-season interest. Remove spent flowers stems to maintain a neat appearance and to encourage new growth. Deer resistant.

Skin irritant. Toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.
