Hi, I bought a young helleborus foetidus plant in March this year and planted it out. It did grow a few new leaves, but this weekend past I noticed the stem seems to have started rotting/going black! I contacted the nursery, they think it should be ok as this plant normally dies back at this time of year. Is this true? Do I not need to worry? I think it looks like the plant is dying rather than dying back!! Many thanks for any help!
