Don’t Plant Hellebores Alone: Shade Garden Design Tips for a Layered Border

If you’re wondering what to plant with hellebores in a shade garden, this video walks through the layering approach I use in my own garden.

Hellebores are one of the best early spring flowers for shade gardens, but they look their best when they’re planted and layered with companion plants that carry the garden through the entire season.

In this video, I’m sharing how I design shade garden beds around hellebores so they feel full and intentional from late winter through fall. We’ll talk about layering early bloomers, foliage plants that fill in during summer, and shrubs and small trees that provide structure and seasonal color.

📒 Want to track your results each season?

One of the biggest improvements in my garden came from actually tracking what worked and what didn’t — design, bloom performance, and planting notes.

That’s exactly what my Bricks ’n Blooms Beautiful and Easy-Care Flower Garden Planner is designed for.

It gives you a system for documenting your garden so each season gets better than the last.
