    As long as they do not sit in water, then that should be fine, but make sure that they still receive some water. You don't want the roots to dry completely.

    They sound like they are fine if they are still firm and green. Plants in containers are typically a little late in coming out of dormancy because they are more exposed to cold then plants that are in the ground. Give them a little extra time and I am sure they will bloom beautifully!

    While I have seen a couple of references on the internet to growing hellebore from cuttings, experts and universities mention only growing them from seed, or from dividing the clumps and planting the rhizomes. This article will tell you more: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hellebore/growing-hellebores.htm

    One reason people love to garden is that you never know for sure what will happen. Plants are individuals, and don't read rule books. Sometimes one may do something odd just because it wants too. One possibility for early blooming is that they are young plants - they can take 3 or 4 years to mature. Youngsters often do things that older, more experienced types will not do. Perhaps the weather was cool and rainy, and your plant was tricked into thinking it was time to flower.

    If the ground is frozen solid, watering won't be helpful. Otherwise, giving the soil a good soaking often helps plants withstand a freeze. Hellebore are a pretty tough plant, don't worry too much about them. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hellebore/growing-hellebores.htm

    When the soil is workable and has warmed up, you can plant it by the side of your house. The weather is warming up so your wait shouldn't be too long. It is okay to keep it inside as a houseplant until you are comfortable with giving it a home outdoors.
