    Hellebores prefer to be kept in cool temperatures, and they will bloom better that way, so keep the plants in the coolest spot you have.They are really winter plants and prefer to live below 45 degrees but above freezing during the winter. Also keep them away from children and pets, because hellebores are poisonous.

    When they are not flowering, the plants will need some water but not much. The top inch or so of soil should dry out between waterings, but you should water before the plant wilts. When flowering, keep them evenly moist.

    For the best success you should transplant in the fall, September or October.
    Since you need to do now, the best you can do is make sure you dig the entire plant up and allow for an adequate pot to take as much soil as possible.
    Plant them out as soon as possible and hope for the best.

    Is this a potted specimen? Hellebore are best to be planted outdoors.
    Yellowing leaves could be watering issues; too much or too little or light conditions.

    This is, actually, very common among many helebores. Mainly, the white and lavender varieties. They will, either, be the original color until the flower matures, or will have a very noticeable green tinge from the beginning. This article will explain some of the differences of a few cultivars: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hellebore/different-hellebore-varieties.htm

    Thank you. Very helpful. Could you recommend a particular cultivar that emphasizes blooms over foliage and maintains its color longer before turning green.

    Hellebores need frequent watering the first year. Compost and mulch should be added to keep the soil moist, cool and fertilized.

    A sudden wilt could be to dry or too wet.
