Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comThese plants have bloomed right on cue for the last ten Christmases. This summer they decided to bloom again at the end of June, not a time for any hellebores to bloom. The flowers were a little smaller than normal, and didn’t hang on as long either. I am in zone 6b. This June was a little wet, but just enough for the other plants to due very well, with a few coming in and blooming a little on the early side. Nothing extreme. I’d love to understand why this happened, and if it will affect the plant’s blooming this coming Christmas.

This can happen with cooler weather after a hot spell. This is not usual, and will not happen often. To ensure that it will bloom, reliably, this Winter I would remove the flower growth at this time.
Otherwise, this article will offer some tips on their care:
