Hellebores: when to plant? Keep this in mind and it will delight you with its appearance
If you take good care of hellebores when planting, they will bloom for years. First of all, remember to choose the right position for them. The hellebore feels best in the shade or partial shade, and at the same time it is not too demanding in terms of the substrate. The soil should be slightly compacted with an alkaline reaction. In addition, the most important is the date of planting hellebores. It can be moved to the soil at any time when the ground is not too frozen, but some point out that two dates are really appropriate. The first of them is May, and the second is the turn of August and September. What about watering? The hellebore does not like to be dried out, so its soil should be kept moist.
Step by step pruning. This is the best moment
It turns out that pruning the hellebore is not necessary for the plant to grow luxuriantly. This does not have much effect on later flowering, but it is important if we want to protect the hellebores from attack by fungal diseases or pests. So it’s a good idea to prune the plants regularly. When is the best time? This is the time right after flowering in spring. Remove the damaged and browned leaves with pruning shears.
