Planting and Care Instructions

Seed Germination and Sowing

1. Cold Stratification Required:
   • Mix seeds with damp sand or peat moss and store in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks before planting
2. Soil Preparation: Well-draining, rich soil with organic matter is ideal
3. Sowing Depth: Lightly cover seeds with a thin layer of soil (about 1/8 inch)
4. Watering: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged
5. Germination Temperature: 60-70°F
6. Germination Time: Can take 3-6 months, as Helleborus niger seeds germinate slowly

Growing and Maintenance

• Light: Prefers partial to full shade; avoid direct afternoon sun in hotter climates
• Watering: Water regularly but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and protect roots in extreme temperatures
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer in early spring and late summer
• Pruning: Remove dead leaves and spent blooms to encourage healthy growth
