Experience dramatic winter-to-early-spring color with Helleborus Winter Jewels® ‘Black Diamond’, a premium hellebore prized for its strikingly dark blooms and exceptional garden performance. This shade-loving perennial produces large, outward-facing flowers in deep charcoal to near-black tones, often highlighted by subtle plum undertones and contrasting golden centers. The bold blooms are held above rich, dark evergreen foliage, creating long-lasting interest in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and containers. Blooming reliably from mid-winter into early spring, ‘Black Diamond’ adds depth, elegance, and high-contrast beauty when most of the garden is still resting. Offered here in a 1-gallon (1G) size, it’s ready to establish quickly and shine for years to come.
