Blue Lady Hellebore features showy nodding plum purple cup-shaped flowers with blue overtones at the ends of the stems from late winter to early spring. Its glossy oval compound leaves remain dark green in colour throughout the year. Blue Lady Hellebore is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. This plant does best in partial shade to shade.
