Dark-Red Hellebore
H. atrorubens is native to Slovenia
and Croatia. It does best in the shade of deciduous
trees. In contrast to most hellebores, this species is difficult
to propagate.
The leaves are subdivided with a minimum of seven and up to as
many as eleven segments. The leaves die back in
the winter. H. atrorubens flowers
from March through May. Depending
upon the selection the flowers can be black-violet
or green-violet in color.
H. atrorubens belongs to the acaulescent species.
