When plants are well grown acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Plant hellebores in neutral or alkaline soil in dappled shade. Hellebores prefer a moist humous-rich fertile soil that does not dry out in summer or sit waterlogged in winter. When growing hellebores on heavy clay or free draining gravel soils add plenty of well rotted leaf mould or other organic matter to the soil prior to planting.Mulch hellebores with well rotted manure or garden compost each spring. Hellebores resent disturbance after planting and may take some time to re-establish. However when clumps become overcrowded lifting and dividing of hellebores should be undertaken immediately after flowering.Quantity: 10 Jumbo plug plantsJumbo plugs can be planted straight into baskets or other containers. Plants are usually 8-12cm in height from base to tip and the plug module could be 3-5cm in diameter depending on the variety.
