Striking nearly black blooms brighten winter gardens

If you're looking to add a touch of drama to your winter landscape, this Lenten Rose from the Winter Jewels® series offers a unique combination of beauty and resilience. Onyx Odyssey features captivating nearly black double flowers that showcase striking yellow stamens, creating a stunning contrast in late winter and early spring when many other plants are still dormant. This eye-catching perennial stands out in any garden and makes a perfect conversation piece in shaded borders or woodland plantings.

In addition to its dramatic blooms, Onyx Odyssey is an excellent choice for shade-loving gardens. Its large, semi-evergreen to evergreen foliage adds texture and depth throughout the year while providing graceful greenery even during the heat of summer. This hardy perennial can withstand occasional dry spells but performs best with consistent moisture for optimal health and appearance, making it a dependable and elegant addition to low-maintenance garden spaces.

Onyx Rose: Beautiful but tiny

Just received this plant about 3 weeks ago. It's perfectly healthy based on the leaves but it looks like it hasn't grown or had any new growths in that time. It could be because it's a shade plant but my hostas and heuchera plants are thriving in the shade despite getting them later. But I'm hoping it'll hit a growth spurt soon.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe're glad your Onyx Odyssey Lenten Rose is healthy, Christina! What you're seeing is completely normal for hellebores. New Lenten roses often prioritize root establishment after planting, so limited top growth in the first several weeks is completely expected even when the foliage looks healthy. Unlike your hostas and heuchera, hellebores tend to take a bit longer to show above-ground progress. Give it time and it will produce beautiful new growth when it's ready!
