Hellebore Care Tips:
-The leathery foliage of hellebore flowers looks best when sheared in late winter just before new growth emerges.
-An annual application of manure or compost will help to boost the growth of your hellebores.
-Provide plenty of water during spring and fall when they are actively growing. You can ease up during the summer because heat causes hellebores to go dormant.
