Planting & Care

1. Planting: Hellebores do not like very dry, very wet, or poorly drained soil. Select a planting site that is in partial shade and sheltered from strong winds.

Plant your Penny's Pink® in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Water immediately to establish roots. Once established, it requires minimal care. Hellebores have deep roots, so if you plan to grow them in a container, make sure to use one that is deep enough. The container should be thick-walled and large enough to prevent the soil from freezing, as the plant cannot absorb water when the roots are frozen.

2. Watering: Make sure to provide enough water, especially after planting. Plants in containers should never be allowed to dry out completely, but be careful to avoid waterlogged conditions.

3. Pruning: Cut back spent flower heads to prevent seedlings. Remove old or damaged leaves and dead flowers in the spring.

4. Fertilizing: It is recommended to use a standard planting medium with a pH level that is not too acidic.
