Hellebores begin blooming in mid-winter in a range of colors, adding much needed color very early in the season. They bloom when the temperature is below freezing, even amidst the snow.
Hellebores are renowned for their tolerance of drought and neglect, although they truly thrive when grown in a moist, but well-drained soil. They are very sensitive to poor drainage, so be sure your soil drains well.
Hellebore Culture
With one exception (H. lividus), hellebores can be grown almost anywhere in the United States. Culture is simple. They prefer moist, but not wet, rich, organic soil in full to light shade.
Our hellebores are in full large bud early in January though new leaves are barely starting.

Hellebores
by Jack Ruttle
Hellebores sound like a dream come true. They really do bloom when the garden looks wintry and the ground is still dotted with the last traces of snow.
Hellebores are valuable for flower arranging because they bloom at a time when bulb flowers dominate the scene and so they offer one a different shape, a different texture and atmosphere.
Hellebores are ideal plants for the shade garden because they form evergreen masses and form large, long lasting colonies that persist for years. They tolerate dry shade quite well.
Hellebores are fashionable and collectable perennials for partially shaded sites in the garden. They appeal because they are one of the few winter/early spring flowers.
