hellebore

Helleborus hybridus 'Blue Lady' should be watered about once a week in the summer months and every 2 weeks in the winter. It grows best in moist but well-drained soil and will require more frequent watering in hotter climates. To maintain that optimum moisture level, check the soil with your finger every other day and only water if the top inch of the soil is dry. If the foliage looks wilted, you may need to water more frequently. Also consider amending the soil with compost to help it retain moisture. Additionally, mist the foliage regularly if it's in a dry setting.

Hellebore (Helleborus hybridus 'Blue Lady') should be placed in a spot that gets direct sunlight for 3 to 5 hours a day. It prefers sun in the morning or late afternoon, rather than during the heat of the day. Too much sun can cause the leaves of this plant to fade and discolor, so it's important to find a spot that is semi-shaded. During the winter months, hellebores can tolerate some light shade but still require adequate amounts of indirect sunlight.

Hellebore (Helleborus hybridus 'Blue Lady') should be pruned annually, ideally in late winter. Pruning at this time ensures plants remain vigorous and healthy with plenty of flowers. Begin by cutting away all any dead, damaged, or diseased growth. Then, cut off any dried or faded flowers as close to the crown of the plant as possible. Prune back remaining stems and foliage lightly, removing no more than 1 third of the growth. Finally, thin out any overly crowded branches or stems and cut back overly long shoots.
