Helleborus Orientalis

What is the plant

Hellebore plants are among the earliest perennial flowers to bloom, welcoming spring with their rose-like blossoms. In warm locales, Helleborus orientalis can bloom outdoors at Christmastime. In colder zones, hellebores will break through the frozen ground early in the spring. Their foliage remains attractive into the summer, so they are suitable for splashy, mass plantings. They also complement foundation plantings and are ideal for woodland gardens.

Soil
These plants require well-draining, rich, humusy soil.Once they are well established, they can tolerate dry conditions; however, they can never tolerate standing in water.Good drainage is a must. An area with shallow, dry, rocky soil is ideal.Amend the soil with some organic matter to feed your Lenten Rose.
Temperature
These plants are extremely hardy, but if you plant them in the springtime, be sure to protect the young, tender plants from an unexpected frost.The use of a cold frame or row cover is recommended for the first couple of weeks.Early fall planting is preferable to spring planting because this gives the plant a chance to develop a strong root system while the soil is still warm before winter sets in.
