Default Hellebores Help Please

Hello
My hellebores which were excellent plants last year were replanted

This in a different part of the garden, they look sad and poorly

Not like the others that I left behind which are blooming and have
been for weeks

Would this be a soil problem do you think, if so what are the best
soil types


Hellebores are lovely aren't they? They usually do well in a soil has
plenty of organic matter incorporated - compost, leaf mould or whatever.
A shady or partially shaded place seems to suit them, although they can
cope with a sunnier aspect if there's enough moisture. Have you perhaps
moved them to a drier area?
