For the taller shrubby Hellebore species the spent flower stems should be removed in spring. Removing old foliage will show of the emerging flowers better and allow better air circulation about the plant in winter.
The most important annual maintenance task, especially for Helleborus x hybridus, is to remove old foliage (right down to the ground) and feed with a complete fertiliser in late autumn. Growth and flowering will be much better in such conditions. Alternatively a position where the plants are reached by the low winter sun will suit.

One of the key things about hellebores is that they really appreciate plenty of light during winter when they are in full growth. As they are often known as ‘shade plants’ some gardeners make the mistake of placing their hellebores in areas subject to very dense evergreen shade. In the wild hellebores tend to be found in or near to deciduous woodland and this provides a clue to their best positioning in the garden. These hybrids often combine the best of both parents with the compact habit and large flower size of Helleborus niger and the attractive foliage colour and toughness of Helleborus lividus or Helleborus x sternii. Rather unexpectedly Helleborus niger will hybridise with some of the taller shrubby Hellebores to produce some of the most sought after Hellebores such as Helleborus x ballardiae (the hybrid with Helleborus lividus) and Helleborus x ericsmithii (the hybrid with Helleborus x sternii). Contrary to its botanical name, which refers to the colour of its roots, it has large glistening single white flowers. The final main group of Hellebores is made up of the very beautiful Helleborus niger, commonly known as the Christmas Rose, and its hybrids.
