hellebore [Penny's Pink]

Though hardy it may suffer if planted in northerly situations and exposed sites. Thrives in neutral to alkaline soils that are moist, fertile and humus-rich. Partial shade is ideal but can tolerate full sun. Provide shelter from strong, cold winds. Mulch annually in autumn. For more details see hellebore cultivation.
