I had a lot of repeat customers from the big city.<br />Helleborous are perennials. The will definitely do well in your area. Once they finish blooming, which they will do for many weeks, the rest of the plant stays quite compact and green.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-15485297853952112242011-05-29T17:58:41.883-06:002011-05-29T17:58:41.883-06:00Hi Gina, how was the fair?

Best is to wait until they have formed seed heads. For new flowers cut stems lengthwise, almost all the way to the top and then submerse in water. Or place in very hot water to revive. All of these tricks work at different stages of maturity. Give it a try, they are worth it.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-64061447691370403082010-05-07T14:45:24.891-06:002010-05-07T14:45:24.891-06:00I LOVE helleborus (niger), the white/greenish one....I LOVE helleborus (niger), the white/greenish one. Such a strange and magnificent flower. I even have a French vintage plate with an helleborus painted on (rose de noel).
