Hellebore leaves, repost.
I'm reposting this as I had no replies last time.
I'd be grateful for any advice please. I always cut off the big hellebore leaves in winter, but the plants are spreading and the leaves are bigger than ever after the wet, mild winter. I would like to cut off a lot now to make room to interplant. Any opinions on how it will affect next Spring's growth or shall I just give it a try? I have such a small garden, a lot of hellebores, and plants with nowhere to go! Pam near Bristol |

I used to dislike them (a lot!), especially the older varieties, but I find the new dark purples really attractive. I don't usually take the old leaves off, more because I don't have the time than because I think it's a bad thing to do. But if I were a bit more tidy-minded, I would take them off when they start to go brown, on the basis that they're no longer doing anything for the plant and just look untidy. Thaks Chris Some of the leaves have had the chop anyway! It's now an experiment! |
