Cutting old hellebore leaves

They're ahead of me this year, fully up and blooming but I've done it now (mostly)

Question re ericsmithii. Did I read here last year that this one shouldn't be cut?

I haven't, but it looks as if it needs it

    Maybe I can, Verdun. If I mix the huge pile of shreddings with glue, roll it out, let it set, I could do some sculpting. If I had any skill in that areaimage
