    About the Helleborus orientalis Maid of Honour

    Care Instructions

    Hellebores thrive in rich, moist soil but not soggy. Once planted, they really detest being moved. New plants need regular watering, established plants will just need watering during hot dry weather. If in containers water more.

    Position, sunlight and more

    Hellebores prefer light or dappled shade, somewhere that gets a little sun part of the day.

    Height and Spread

    Maid of Honour will reach height and spread of 45-60cm.

    Feeding, Pruning & more

    Feeding - Hellebores enjoy a general all purpose fertilizer. Adding a layer of mulch annually is good for them.
    Pruning - Cut back old leaves in late winter/early spring.
    Propagation - Division does work for these plants, new plants can be slow to establish.

    Our pot & plant size explained

    At Newlands Nursery we grow and sell plants in a variety of different sizes, from small starter plants up to planted containers. 

    We know it can be tricky to picture the size of each plant. This page gives you an idea of the size of the plants we are sending out.

    Please keep in mind that plants vary from one season to the next. The size of the plant refers to the pot or plug it is grown in, rather than the height of the plant, unless specifically mentioned on the plant page.

    Starter Plant (Plug Plant)

    Plug Size: 2cm by 4cm. Our most popular size. This is often the most economical way of buying plants and is a great way to get a head start on the season. Generally this size is best to be potted up before planting out.
