Often overlooked by more popular spring blooms, Hellebores are a wonderful plant for the landscape for early seasonal color (as early as February) and will provide greenery year round (an advantage over its spring blub competitors). More commonly used in Europe, Hellebores are becoming more popular in US landscapes. Hellebores look wonderful while planted with other woodland plants, but can be used in more formal settings.
