Helleborus 'Early Purple Group' has red-tinged foliage and bears large, cup-shaped, nodding, plum-purple flowers with contrasting yellow stamens. Like all hellebores, Helleborus 'Early Purple Group' dislikes being moved once established, so should not be divided. Given the right conditions, it will self-seed quite sufficiently to provide replacements.
