Care & maintenance
Easily maintained once established. Remove old, damaged, or spent foliage in late winter or early spring just before new growth and flower stalks emerge to prevent disease and improve appearance. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Divide clumps every few years if desired, though Hellebores generally prefer not to be disturbed.
