Hi I wonder if anyone can put my mind at ease. I just took delivery of 6 Helleborus Odorus plants which were shipped across country from Oregon to NYC. They are all about 8-9 inches tall, quite sturdy with plenty of leaves but the leaves are quite dry and badly discolored with dark brown to black splotches that look almost as if acid has dropped on to them and on some of them there are small dark spots on the stems too. I called the nursery and was told that they had had a hard frost in early November and that they should be ok but I'm a bit dubious. Does this sound like frost damage or some kind of disese? Any suggestions as to what should I do to nurse them back to health?

Thanks in advance. Steve.
