  • Hellebores are low-maintenance and mostly disease and pest-free. In the spring simply trim back last year's foliage. These hardy plants can adapt to diverse growing conditions. They prefer rich, moist,
    organic soil, but will also grow in clay or sandy soil. Good soil drainage in the soil is important for healthy root development.  Once established these plants can tolerate short periods of drought. Soil pH can range from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline.  Hellebores are shade plants that need to be protected from the hot afternoon sun. They can grow in full shade under large deciduous trees, but the winter sun helps set their blooms.  In the fall heavily mulch the soil at the base of Helleborus plants. In the spring new seedlings will grow in this mulch and can then be transplanted elsewhere in the garden.


    WARNING: Hellebores are poisonous. Do not consume any part of the plant!


    When to Plant:
    Late winter to early spring, or in the Fall
