- It's Time For Hellebore Maintenance - In this video I go over some maintenance that needs to be done on Helleborus plants in the late winter. Hellebores are easy to maintain perennials that have flowers in the late winter and spring. They are best in part-shade and are pest and deer resistant.

Thanks Jim for the valuable content! I purchased a few the other day and just put them in the ground. Neat plants and not cheap either LOL
Yeah. They are pretty pricey.
@@rdarrett3635 Trader Joe's is where I got my last haul...about $10 each!!
Such beauties! Can’t find any all sold out 😞. We will probably order some. I love how they multiply! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Hey lady! Love your channel too.
Hi Jim, I fell in love with hellabores a few years ago. I planted them in a shade bed but when my neighbor cut down a large oak, now they are in full sun. I was afraid I would loose them last summer with the heat and drought here in Georgia. Well, they started blooming in late January and are beautiful. I'll sent some pics if I ever figure out how. Thanks for all the great info.
Glad I saw your post. My first year with hellobores and I have 3 that get afternoon sun but they are doing good because there are other perennials shading them.
Thanks so much for posting. It’s scary to start whacking off portions of a plant without knowing what exactly should come off. Really appreciate your content.
I live in zone 8a. I have them both in full sun and almost full shade. Both doing well.
you are my favorite gardening channel jjim, thank you
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing....from Fresno, CA.
Thanks so much for the informational videos on hellebores. I just learned about these plants this year, and, having much shade in the Atlanta area, have decided to raise as many varieties as I can get my hands on. Thanks again for all the advice!
I'm north of Atlanta, in Dawsonville. These plants are real workhorses in part shade here. So nice with Heuchera, Tiarrella & Asarum. All great evergreens for shade. Howdy neighbor!
Jim -- excellent presentation. Got to admit, I neglect mine and the still perform beautifully (raggedy leaves and all). Thanks!
True. That are great regardless.
Jim, this is my first time planting hellabores. I garden in 8b, planted in a North facing shady spot early October. What would you recommend as companion planting?
Your muscles be bustin outta your sleeves bud! Whatever you’re doin is doin ya good! Thanks for another great info vid!
Thank you. I have been working out hard this winter. My age is telling me I have to be in better shape to continue doing the things I like to do. Thanks for watching.
I love hellebores. They do great here in the PacNW. Even better is the deer, rabbits, etc. leave them alone. One of the common names is Christmas rose because many do bloom starting around Christmas. Another name for them is Lenten rose. As you know, the "blooms" last for months because they are really bracts... my helleborus foetidus, which is a green bloomer, has been blooming since early December. And, like you, last year I had blooms all the way through June. For years, I resisted them because they are expensive, but, after I got my first one, I realized they are worth it. Mine aren't in very rich soil, they are in a raised area on the hillside that is pretty rocky and they still do great. They are in part shade and I do try to make sure they get supplemental water in the dry summer. Just can't say enough good things about them. Interestingly, British gardeners cut all the foliage off hellebores this time of year so that the blooms stand out better.
Great info. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I asked earlier. I just got my daffodils, alliums and tulips in the ground today. No prechilling. I don’t expect them to bloom, but do you think they will root and green foliage to grow.. thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are my favorite!
Your daffodils will bloom probably. Unknown on the others. Good luck with them.
Love hellebores! Have wanted them for years. Just can’t find them here. So expensive online 😕. I do have several spots that would be perfect for ones rated for my zone. Would be wonderful to see those beautiful flowers end of December, January. Maybe one day. Sigh.
I have plenty of them I'll mail them to you
Would like to know how he divides them, if at all.
I am always afraid to touch the original base. After a few years, I find little baby ones growing on the side, and I take them out with a health amount of roots, and plant them elsewhere. That is how I propagate them.
Thanks for this advice I planed several hellebores last spring and did not know what to do about pruning. Btw I like your hat can you reveal where you got it looks warm for winter wear vs a ski cap
It an Adidas hat. I have had it for years. It has ear flaps and fits perfectly. I ordered another one and they had changed the design. The new ones sit up higher on the top of your head. Very different look.
Super useful. Thanks!
Jim, perfect timing! Thanks so much for doing these videos. I love them--particularly ones which discuss the best varieties within series of plants like you've done with Encore azaleas. I learn so much from those videos!!! And I go to the nursery knowing exactly which cultivars to buy. I would love to learn more about the hellebores with variegated foliage like the Frost Kiss series--Molly's White, Anna's Red, etc. I haven't found much online yet about them, although I found one Molly's White in an end-of-season sale last year. I'm hoping to find some more this season and would love more information about them & their growth--I understand that most in this series are larger (sometimes 2'x2')and that their flowers face outward rather than nodding down. There have been so many new introductions in hellebores in recent years that it would be great to see a video about which cultivars are most vigorous, which multiply and self seed most readily, etc. Again, thank you!
If I have time at some point I want to go to a hellebore nursery and do a video. I really love things that bloom when it's cold
Thanks Jim! Does the same concept apply to coral bells?
If you have some rough looking foliage on your coral bells, you can take it off when you start seeing new growth later this winter.
Jim, you and I did a private consult earlier this year. I'm in Lubbock, TX-zone 7B on steroids. We experienced -6* temps last week with -19* wind chills. I'm so concerned that our evergreen trees will not make it through. Any thoughts on items planted in November and December and their ability to survive?
Do you have any recommendations for where to buy hellebores in the Carolinas (preferably SC, but I’ll drive. 😃). I’ve not seen them at my local garden centers...
Why do you fertilise the soil? Plants in natural surroundings dont need fertilized
Two things. First, soil everywhere has at least some deficiency. Second, I use a very small amount. I have videos on it.
Thanks, mine are looking ragged, and for some reason I never considered removing spent foliage. I imagine you would've mentioned it if you did, but do you ever add lime? My soil is also acidic and while they flower just fine, I now wonder if they would look even better with a little lime. Also, do you divide in summer as that's when they're dormant? Then just water in well...?
Jim, I live in Winston-Salem and we recently bought a house where the yard has not been maintained for years. Our hellebore looks exactly like yours, but was growing in full shade in clumps at different locations in the yard. There was even a huge clump growing up under a large lilac tree. In order to make room to plant new hedges, I dug up the hellobore and broke into sections. When I replant it, should I trim it at all or just put it in the ground? It's early October now. They are clearly hardy. Any tips appreciated.
Never seen grow in our area despite ph of 8 or greater, so should be in my favor. Being resistant to deer should help as well, I’m a zone 4to5 depending on zone chart one goes by. Wish had someone with your knowledge that was from my area where Iowa, Nebraska. And South Dakota touch.special area of loess hills
Just potted some today. So excited. Tfs. 👏🏻👏🏻
Jim, I’m in southern Ohio and I’m very curious if I can divide one that is fully mature at 8yrs old.
Thank you for the information! I have had them for years and never known to do this! Headed out for cleanup tomorrow.
I really need to build up a shady/partial shade flower bed.
I like that hat! I must get one.
Do you just leave the cut out leaves on the bed? or do you compost them elsewhere?
I compost them, but many things I do leave in place. It's just that these are blooming soon and I want the area to be fresh looking when it happens.
Mine are planted in rich soil, will that help or hurt?
Help for sure, unless it stays super wet.
Waiting for snow to melt to trim mine. Good video!
Snow is good insulator for them. Thanks for watching and commenting
Will you be offering a sleeveless shirt or tank top for us working outside in the south. You know sun is out the guns are out. Thanks
Yes, for sure. I am going to have regional shirts actually. March probably is when I will get new ones up. Thanks for asking.
