Fall is the best time to attempt dividing hellebore plants. A new Lenten rose transplant from dividing needs to be monitored carefully and given some extra attention until the root mass adjusts.

When can I split my hellebores?
This means most Hellebores can be divided in mid to late spring, and if you are not sure what type of Hellebore you have, divide it after flowering later in the spring. To divide, lift the clump, retaining as much root as possible, cut into largish pieces about 15cmc each (6") and replant, watering well.
When can Lenten roses be divided?
Dividing is best done either before blooming or after the plant has set seed. There are two ideal windows of opportunity for this task: Late winter. Early fall.
How do you repot hellebores?
Replace sufficient soil back in the hole so that when your hellebore is planted it will be to the same level as it was in the pot. Place the roots in the hole and infill with the dug soil / compost / fertiliser. Firm the soil down around the roots reasonably firmly as you infill. Water well if the ground is at all dry.
Can you move hellebores in flower?
In early May, remove the flowering stems before they set seed. ... If you decide to move one, this can be done either before or after flowering because hellebores are very tolerant and move well as long as you keep the rootball intact.
How do you split Lenten roses?
The best time for division is when you are already transplanting a hellebore. These plants are fussy about being moved and it is best to do it only when necessary. Dig up the whole plant, wash off the soil and use a clean, sterile, sharp knife to cut the root mass into 2 or 3 sections.
Are Lenten roses invasive?
That's not to say hellebores are invasive; those examples have all been forty or fifty-year-old homes. ... Helleborus orientalis is prolific from seed, if you plant a hybrid it may be less productive or it may not produce identical offspring.
Can I take cuttings from hellebores?
If you wish to propagate hellebores yourself, the easiest way is by dividing them. They respond well and the new plants will look just like the originals. Divide evergreen hellebores in late fall, before they sprout new leaves. Divide hellebores that lose their leaves in summer just after they finish blooming.
Where is the best place to plant hellebores?
They prefer a sheltered position in semi-shade (dense shade can reduce flowering) with a rich, moist, free draining soil. If possible, it is desirable to plant hellebores on a sloping bed, both to improve drainage and also to make it easier to look into the flowers, which naturally nod.
Can hellebores be grown in pots?
Helleborus foetidus is best for deeper shade. Helleborus lividus, Helleborus niger and Helleborus thibetanus prefer a position that is sheltered, cool, in light shade and has well-drained soil or the drainage of a raised bed. Alternatively plant in containers.
Do hellebores reseed?
Hellebores can be propagated by division. ... (Helleborus foetidus and Helleborus argutifolius do not divide well and are best started from seed.) Most varieties will reseed, but if hybrids may produce seeds that don't "come true" to the parent plant.
