Jen,
They can be planted now. Find the right location in your garden. Now, next week we are to turn bitter cold which may freeze our ground a little. You may want to try to plant sooner than later. But, you have plenty of time to plant. Take care, Doug

Marlene, Glad you read my blog on hellebores. They are low maintenance, gives us color in the ‘dead’ of winter, and deer do not bother these plants. How can you go wrong in planting some in the landscape!

Julie,
Glad you liked this blog on hellebores. If you are planning to plant it then I would do so as soon as possible. The fact that it has some brown leaves is ok for now. It will grow new leaves this spring. Enjoy the blooms. They are beautiful!

Great article! When can I plant this sweet plant outside? I purchased one a month ago and it looks pretty bad. Most of the leaves have turned brown and I cut them back. It is flowering. Should I repot it? Help!

Debbie, Thank you for taking the time to share your “love” for hellebores. It’s hard not to love this plant especially since it flowers in the winter and the deer don’t seem to bother it. That’s a win – win. Doug

I have a few 2 I’ve had for 5/6 years. They are definitely a favorite of mine.
