What is causing dark brown spots on the leaves on my hellebores?

Our Advice:

This is hellebore leaf spot, a fungus similar to grey mould that is spread by water splashes. Trim off the old, affected leaves and throw them away. As the new leaves appear spray with Systhane Fungus Fighter from Bayer or Fungus Clear Ultra from Scott's to keep them free from infection.
