Helleborus 'Regal Ruffles'
The Hellebore 'Regal Ruffles' is an eye-catching bloom of the Lenten Rose family. It features exotic lavender petals with cream, pink, and yellow accents, backed by lush green foliage. Reaching up to 18 inches in height, this winter-flowering plant is very rare and hardy, making it perfect for shaded gardens. Hellebore 'Regal Ruffles' is a stunning feature for any landscape, offering near-constant blooms when planted in a sheltered, partly-shaded spot. It is easy to care for, needing only regular water and occasional pruning for best growth.

watering
Hellebore plants should be watered when the soil is starting to dry out. Generally, water once a week, adding enough water to reach a depth of about 2-3 inches. Make sure to water deeply so that the water reaches the plant's roots. Be sure not to over-water as this can cause root rot. Over-watering will also cause the leaves to yellow and drop off. Be sure to not leave standing water either as this can cause root rot as well.
sunlight
Hellebore (Helleborus 'Regal Ruffles') does best when grown in partial to full shade. While it is not a strictly full-shade plant, it is best to avoid direct sunlight for extended periods of time - 4-5 hours of sunlight per day is the general recommendation. Provided it has some direct sunlight, hellebore should be kept in a spot where bright, indirect light warms the foliage (which is what it will prefer). This is an ideal situation for hellebore to thrive and bloom - otherwise its flowers will be diminished or non-existent.
pruning
Hellebore 'Regal Ruffles' should be pruned in early Spring, prior to new growth appearing. Cut off all woody stems and dead leaves to the ground. If needed, pruning of new growth can take place throughout the growing season; however, it is not advised to do so as it can inhibit flowering and inhibit branching. Pruning should be minimal and it is advised to remove spent flower heads to promote re-flowering.
