hellebore

Hellebore plants require deep, infrequent watering. It's best to check the soil before watering; if it feels dry about an inch below the surface, then water thoroughly. Water until the soil is slightly damp and free-draining. Water once a week or every 10 days in the summer months. During the cooler months, water less as the plants will be dormant and won't need as much hydration. If you're in a region that experiences high heat and humidity, you may need to water more often.

Hellesbore (Helleborus 'Royal Heritage') does best when exposed to full to partial sunlight, with approximately 4-6 hours of sun exposure per day. This ensures that the plant receives enough light for healthy growth and vibrant flowering. During the hot summer months, partial shade should be provided to avoid issues such as sun scalding or sunburn on the foliage. This will also help reduce the risk of the soil drying out too quickly, providing the plant with enough moisture.

Hellebore (Helleborus 'Royal Heritage') should be pruned once a year in early spring. This will help encourage new growth and reduce the amount of dead or damaged branches. The best time for pruning is when the new growth appears, which is usually sometime in late February or early March. This plant should not be pruned more than once a year. Doing so can slow the new growth and reduce flowering potential. In order to do a thorough job, prune away ALL dead, diseased, or damaged branches, as well as any branches that are crossing or rubbing against each other. Pruning should be done in a gentle and slow manner so as not to damage any other branches or the main stem. Always use sharp pruners or shears when pruning.
