hellebore

Hellebore ('Coseh 710' PINK FROST) requires moderate watering. Water the plant deeply once per week, providing enough water to moisten the entire root zone. Allow the soil to dry out slightly, to a depth of 2-3 inches between waterings. In periods of extreme heat or drought, water may be needed more often. Keep an eye on the soil moisture and water only when necessary.

Hellebore ‘Coseh 710’ PINK FROST grows best in full sun or partial shade, but it does best in partial shade. It should receive approximately 4 hours of direct sunlight per day, ideally with morning sun and afternoon shade. To prevent scorching of the foliage, place the plant in a bright, well-ventilated location that gets direct sun in the morning, and indirect light during the remainder of the day. When growing in full shade, the plant may not flower as profusely.

Hellebore 'Coseh 710' PINK FROST should be pruned twice a year, in the spring and fall. In the spring, after the danger of frost has passed, prune the old leaves and flower stalks down to the ground. In the fall, prune off any dead leaves or flower stalks that have been damaged by weather or pests. When pruning, it is important to use sterile, sharp pruning tools in order to avoid spreading any diseases or pests. Additionally, be sure to wear gloves, as some species of hellebore can be toxic to humans if touched or ingested. The amount to prune off depends largely on the individual growth habit of the plant, but a good rule of thumb is to remove only as much as needed to keep the plant shapely and healthy. It is best to avoid pruning off more than a third of the height or width of the plant.
