moving hellebores
« on: March 16, 2010, 16:36:52 »
I have a big hellebore that is currently flowering. Its really in the wrong place as it leans right over to get the light. When is the best time to move them and should I chop the flower stems back or anything? (Its a large green hellebore with serated edge leaves - cant remember the proper name).
Thanks for any advice.

Move them when you like, they're as tough as old boots. The only thing they don't like is drought and sunshine mixed.

yep, do it now - dump a can of water in the new hole first.
