Hellebores at local hardware store - no blooms

Hi,

I was wandering through a hardware store's garden center this afternoon and happened upon a flat of quart-sized Hellebores. The only label I saw on them was 'Melody' - The leaves were a dark purple-brown color, and actually were fairly large. A sticker on the pot said it could get 20" tall. What kind are these? They had no blooms to speak of, so I didn't buy them...

I've been looking for something to plant in a loosely defined front lawn border that surrounds a Redmond Linden (heavy shade). Right now I only have a few young 'August Moon' hostas and three palace purple heucheras (I know - inspired, right?). Would the Hellebores do well in this area with these plants? I'm concerned about it becoming invasive. Also, what will these flowers look like? I'm totally new to Hellebores...
