Looks like helleborus niger.

It wouldn't be the first time that someone bought a plant with the wrong tag....

They all produce seed, even the double bloomers...

The trick is... don't mulch the babies... those are very tender, can't be moved for at least a year, and preferably 2 or 3.

Let me check my blog, and see if I can't find some helleborus orientalis...
