Hellebores prefer partial to full shade and thrive in rich, well-draining soil with compost. Water regularly, especially in their first year. In early spring, add compost or a balanced fertilizer, and mulch to retain moisture (keeping it away from stems). Trim old foliage in late winter, and space plants 18–24 inches apart. Deer- and pest-resistant, Hellebores are hardy, low-maintenance perennials.
