FrostKiss™ Cheryl's Shine Hellebore Care

This plant thrives in full to partial shade, so choose a spot that receives up to 4 hours of direct sunlight. Plant Cheryl’s Shine in soil that is rich, moist, and neutral to slightly alkaline. Established plants are drought tolerant, but water during a dry period. Feed the plant with a balanced fertilizer in the spring.

Trim the greenery in early winter to maintain its shape and expose the showy blooms. Propagate Hellebores in the fall by dividing the plant.
