hellebore care

newbie77newbie77 Posts: 1,838
I planted many hellebore plants this spring. Mostly Niger but some other type. Whether in sun or shade, none of them have grown much since planting. 

What can i feed these to promote some growth?

    What size were they when you planted them?
    They can take a while to establish, especially if they were small, and/or if the conditions aren't ideal. 
    Mine only get B,F&Bone in spring. Some get nothing, other than a layer of compost around them now and again.

    some were 9 cm pots and rest were 1L pots. now i wish i had potted them up instead of planting out. i was worried i wont be able to water regularly to pots. who knew in beginning of march, we would be staying at home this year!

    Quite small plants then. Once they establish, assuming they've had enough watering etc, they'll grow away well, but they won't be sizeable plants until next year  :)
