Christmas starts earlier and earlier :D

 

I have a large established clump of dark purple hellebors growing under my overgrown crinondendron. The leaves are looking a bit tatty and I would like to dig it up and move it to somewhere where there is more light,and air. Can I do this now.

 

Me I would wait til after they have flowered to get the best chance of success. They usually do OK in partial shade for me.

 

Thanks again, Marley Farley and Fran, so glad I asked before I started. I just can't bear to see anything looking tatty and tend to just cut it down or dig it up. I thought it was because it is now nearly buried underneath the crinondendron that was causing it to look sick.

 

Mmmmm be careful - removing or pruning anything tatty in a garden, only really works well with gardens planted with annuals or plants you just plant for their peak performance and replace and thats kinda pricey . Theres tidying up that can hurt, and theres tidying up that can help - and we are always willing to share when in doubt.
