Description

Just when you’re at your lowest ebb in the depths of winter, the Lenten rose blooms to lift your spirits and remind you that spring is right around the corner. Float the cup-like blossoms in water inside, or leave them to decorate strong evergreen foliage that is happy in both sun or in shade. It’s a timeless, beautiful plant with many great advantages for the gardener – not least of all its high resistance to deer.

CARE

Choose a well-drained site in sun or part-shade and plant your hellebore in early fall or spring. Plants will be shipped according to your growing zone for correct planting times. Hellebores are very hardy, but if planting in early spring and temperatures are unseasonably cold, it’s a good idea to acclimatize nursery specimens to outside temperatures with a light fabric covering or in a cold frame for 1-2 weeks.

Light: Though they are known as plants for shady conditions, they do fine in sunny spots.

PLANTING

Hellebores prefer a rich, humusy, well-drained soil, however they are well known for being able to tolerate the difficulties of dry shade once established. They will not tolerate boggy or wet soils and it is important to make sure that drainage is good.

Plant in early fall or late spring. Early fall will give hellebores the ability to create a strong root system in still-warm soil without the stress of high temperatures on foliage.

Space 18” apart. Clumps slowly get larger but spread through numerous seedlings, not rhizomes.

WATERING

Evenly-moist soil is best to produce thriving plants, but once established, hellebores can tolerate dry conditions.

FERTILIZING

Regularly amending your soil with organic matter is enough for the hellebore, but for larger plants, you can fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new foliage is beginning to emerge.
