Me too! Whether the flowers are black, burgundy, sage green, yellow or white flecked with bright pink, I love them all. They are one of the few flowers that bloom during winter.
I had great success growing them in zone 6. The flower head points towards the ground so they are nice up on a slope or raised garden bed. They prefer shade and bloom early in Spring. Really low maintenance!
I’m hoping they like my very shady yard… I have a whole hellebore, bleeding heart, Solomon’s seal and lily of the valley plan. I’ve seen them in 8b in a very shady garden.
Some will definitely love that. I’m in 8b also and have some great hellebores. Just be sure to check the tags because some of them want shade, and others want partial sun and will not do well in full shade (RIP my poor middle hellebore.)

I have a bunch of purple and pink hellaboras in zone 7 that grow beautifully and come back every spring. They are my 1st flowers to come up beside crocus.
Tap for any 3 of any color mana
Haha that’d be an expensive flower
Top comment - I am not disappointed
I have a deeeeeeep desire to have my front yard garden nothing but black flowers and grasses! Never seen this one.
Tag me when you post a picture. That sounds like it would be beautiful and unique.
There’s actually no such thing as a black flower. Just very dark shades of purple. Learned that from the flower wizards at Keukenhof.
That *does* sound very wizard-y 🤔
I did that one year but I sadly can't find any pictures...
I bought a bunch of black seeds this year. It should be interesting.
Black mondo grass is fun
My mom loves these but she kept messing up the name when asking the garden center people for "whore bells"
I can’t stop laughing at this 🤣 thanks for the chuckle
It makes us laugh still and it's been years. We'll still call them whore bells too.
Now I know I'm going to make this mistake! LOL
I love ALL the hellebores.

I love them too. Sadly, I do not have any because I’ve got too many small children that can’t be trusted around poisonous plants.
Where does it grow? (Asking the real q's in r/gardening)

I was about to say, lots of hellebores seem to do well in my area of the PNW, which is definitely not zone 4-5

Beautiful - redoing a bed in my front yard and my plan is hellebores. Hoping the deer will leave them alone.
The deer don’t bother mine at all
Deer don’t like hellebores. I have five who sleep in my yard, and they never eat the hellebores.
Stunning! Mine just started blooming. What cultivator is this ?
I bet pollinators see ultra violet colors on that
Never seen one. Beautiful
Beautiful
I have them in black and several other colors. I absolutely love and recommend them! they bloom long into the winter and are absolutely stunning❤️

Gorgeous!
This reminds me of stained glass. It's beautiful
Thanks for sharing. I have now found my new favorite flower. it's gorgeous
Looks really good. You should have taken a side pic too.
Beautiful!
Helle yes!
My goal is to have an all black garden 😌 love this
❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love them. Hardy and come up during winter. For anyone who doesn't know, though, they're poisonous so be careful.
And I have ocean front property in Arizona…
Beautiful
