I am moving and want to bring my beloved hellebores with me!
Sure! Since they prefer shady locations, the coming heat won't be as much of a concern. Just be sure to do as little damage as possible when doing so.

Just bought this potted helleborus and it was wilty so I watered,it perked up nicely but now leaves are turning yellow.whatbis going on?
It looks like you have it indoors which can be tricky. Lighting and temperature will be key. They don't like overly moist soil, so when you watered it, it may not have drained well. Be sure there isn't any standing water for it to absorb and be sure the soil is well draining.

I bought Hellebore plant not long ago, it is taller than Hellebores I had some years ago that did very well. I don't know what to do, the centers of the plant changed, disappeared almost and several of the stems and flowers bend down to ground of pot. Can you give advice? Is this some of the Black Death? Where I live is now cold and damp and often rainy. I have the plant generally in shade but with some sun. Brought the plant in the apartment now, very concerned. Beatrice
It may be getting too much moisture and not enough drainage. If it were Black Death, you would see black splotches on the leaves and flowers. It is usually a disease of nurseries, not home gardens. These articles should help:

I think that they will recover. Usually, you will want to cut them during early spring, however, due to the irritating sap. This article will help:

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.
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.
