Hellebore Winter Care / Quick Tips / Homegrown Garden

The days may be short and the garden rather dull, but now is the time for the hellebores to shine! These winter/spring flowering perennials are a must for flower borders in a part shaded spot or under a tree.
In this video, as part of a new 'Quick Tips' playlist, you'll see how I prepare them for blooming and learn how to prevent black spot disease on your hellebores.

    Thank you for the tip on black spot. I'm in a dryer climate and thought it was a sign of underwatering. Your soil looks much more humus than mine. Thanks for sharing this tip. My wife loves them and gets disappointed when they look so unhealthy.

    Great! I hope you continue with your quick tips segments. Here, in mid-January, we're only growing snowmen with several feet of snow covering the ground. It's nice to see some real greenery and flower blooms at this time of year. Cheers!

There’s a lovely farm-shop near by too, Roberts Farm shop worth a pop in. I’m anxious about cutting all the leaves back I cut the large and unhealthy ones. I must try to be braver.

    I noticed that Ashwood Nursery sell some of their own Hellebore hybrids as plug plant packs which seems like a bargain if you don't mind waiting a couple of seasons for them to bulk up plus you can't specify the colours. I'd love to have some in winter containers but the price of 2 or 3 litre plants in a garden centre is just too high for me.

    I despair at how the routine removal of Hellebore foliage has become received wisdom. I've seen too many weakened by this ghastly practice. The damage from leaf spot is over-stated and misunderstood. Consider this: you're removing the leaves from your plants annually, yet you're still seeing the leaf spotting. I've never removed the leaves from my hellebores and I have very many, and all are in the rudest of health. But don't take my word for it - try leaving them alone one year and see what happens.

  • @homegrowngarden

    The new leaves appear after the flowers in the spring so they aren’t leafless for long at all. It was the practice carried out at the hellebore nursery I visited quite recently where they breed and grow their own from seed. You do you and I’ll carry on as I do. They’re blooming their socks off now 🙂
