Gardener's Log
04/2018: Planted behind garage in spring of 2018.
I’ve had a couple Ivory Prince hellebores along the front sidewalk for years. They are beautiful plants – but expensive and don’t like to be moved – so I’ve hesitated to buy more until I saw this one. The flower is very deep blue, almost black, so I took the plunge. I think it needs a little more TLC than I normally give my plants – the new growth is nice but the flowers look a bit shoddy, possibly due to slug damage.
