Description

(Lenten Rose) Enjoy the early spring blooms of Helleborus WEDDING PARTY® 'Black Tie Affair'. The WEDDING PARTY® series of Helleborus feature large, fully double 3-inch blooms. 'Black Tie Affair' has petals with near-black edges that in the right light show off shades of burgundy, with a light grayish-white center. The WEDDING PARTY® series is known for its showy flowers and large numbers of blooms per plant. With blooms starting in late winter, WEDDING PARTY® 'Black Tie Affair' is known to bloom for up to 6 weeks, and after that the spent blooms are equally as beautiful for weeks longer. Grown in part shade to full shade is where Helleborus are most at home. They prefer damp to moist soil conditions, great for woodland gardens. The dark green foliage is semi-evergreen. You can trim back in the fall or leave the foliage for winter interest. Helleborus WEDDING PARTY® 'Black Tie Affair' is a deer and rabbit-resistant perennial that is easy to grow and hardy in zones 4-9. Beautiful as a cut flower, floating in a bowl or planted in mass in your garden. Mix and match your favorite Lenten Roses for an array of spring colors.

Reviews

A healthy hellebore plant arrived, carrying a pot stick label that differed from the bar code label affixed to pot. Correspondence confirmed suspicions that wrong plant was shipped, replacement out of stock and credit issued. I will be reordering next spring from this trustworthy valued resource for great distinctive plants.
