Hellebores

Is this a good time to dig up and move Hellebores please ...

 

Not really. They make new roots when the soil is cooling down ie end of September onwards.

 

I need to move my hellebores. How and when do I do this? | MGABC.

 

As said optimum time is September onwards. However if needs must then just remember that they absolutely hate their roots drying out while being moved. When I have had to move them at the wrong time I take a bucket of water with me and drop the plant into it to move to its new spot. Usual rules for planting and after care apply.

 

Thanks for replying @Palustris, @Upsydaisy and @Loofah
I was going to revamp a herbacious border but thinking about it now I will have some shrubs to move as well as the Hellebores, so best leave it until Autumn

 

I think you've made a good decision Michael, it would be such a shame to lose any.
