Can Hellebore Be Planted In Early Spring?

Question

I have the perfect yard for them & would love to have the oriental version of it, but don’t know whether they’d do well if I plant them in March.

Answer 1

Even though hellebores bloom in late winter to early spring, it is best to plant them after the danger of frost has passed so their roots can become established before being exposed to harsh weather. Your last frost date is in early April so it would be best to wait a few weeks to plant.

If you are starting them from seed, they can be planted in fall, but it will be years before they bloom.
