Care instructions

Grow in neutral to alkaline soil including heavy soil. Even though it is semi-evergreen it is advisable to cut back the old leaves down to the ground in January or February. This will show off the emerging flowers to best effect and it also helps to get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot.
