Q.Can I Revive My Hellebores?
I purchased two hellebores yesterday from the grocery store. They were outside, but I left them inside overnight. Immediately they’re now soft and droopy. Was it the change in temperature that they didn’t like? If I plant them in pots outside tomorrow, will they perk back up?

They do best planted in the ground, but they should do fine in a container, too. They probably drooped from the change in temperature and light. The roots dislike being disturbed so take care not to repot often. It can delay blooming.
