Q.Hellebore plant
Like many, I get aphids on my hellebore but love them and will continue the battle. If I put something like pine needles under the plant, will that help? I read one article that said aluminum foil under the plant…tacky to look at but will try if it helps. So, my question is, is there any material under the plant that would help keep aphids at bay?
Thanks.
