Growing Guide
Planting schedule:
Prior to vernalization, Hellebores require 10 – 14 weeks of rooting establishment during spring/fall conditions with growth slowing in the summer. Heated facilities can be used to extend the season.
Vernalization:
After the growing period, Hellebores require 12 – 15 weeks of vernalization to flower. Vernalization requires that temperature averages do not exceed the 30s at night and 40s in the day.
Fertility:
Feed heavier in the fall and spring during the growing season and lightly in the summer. Increased potassium will help bud formation.
PH:
Hellebores prefer slightly acid media between 5.5 – 5.8.
Light requirements:
Full sun during the cooler months of spring and fall. Cover with 30% shade in summer.
