Helleborus torquatus Party Dress Hybrid

Hellebores grow in most soils. They thrive in soil that has been deeply worked and mixed with a quantity of organic matter. To fertilise, use bone meal or another organic fertiliser. In acidic soil, preferably add a little bit of lime. Water the plants well after planting and then add a layer of mulch, 2 to 5 cm (1 to 2in) thick. Regularly remove wilted leaves. For species with leaves emerging from the ground, such as orientalis, cut most of the leaves to highlight the flowers. Be careful not to plant the plants too close to each other, in order to promote their development.
