Helleborus 'New York Night'
Hardy, shade-loving Hellebores are prized for being among the first to bloom in late winter and early spring, often through the snow. Their nodding, cup-shaped flowers herald the coming of spring in shades of white, yellow, pink, maroon and even soft green. Evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage lasts throughout the year, with new fresh growth in the spring. Will slowly spread. PPA Plant of the Year, 2005. **Hellebore plants are poisonous to both humans and pets and should not be ingested**
Prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture to establish, then are carefree. Spent flower heads can be cut back to promote new foliage growth or to prevent unwanted volunteer seedlings. Many plantlets will form around base of parent plant and will bloom around the third year if left alone. Division is generally not needed (or recommended) but can be performed in early spring if desired. Remove young side plantlets with roots and replant. Water well.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
