Hello everyone, I have 12 hellebores in (litre) pots from plug plants. Should plant them before winter? Thank you.

    Plant them out in the autumn.....i.e  once the summer starts to drift into the mists and mellow fruitfulness stage so that the plants won't be stressed by heat and lack of water.  You'll be wanting them for late winter and spring flowering.

    Ceres, thank you so much for your advice, seems like a good idea too.

    Hellebores begin to make new roots when the temperatures begin to fall, so early autumn is the best time to plant. Don't let them dry out when planted though, they hate that.
