🌿 A little hellebore experiment at Rivendell Farms 🌿
This is the very first time we’ve ever divided our hellebores, so we’re learning as we go!
We decided to divide some of our established plants and move the divisions into raised beds, with the hope of eventually having lots more hellebores for the flower farm. 🌱
Fall is a great time to divide many hardy perennials. Dividing established plants is an easy way to multiply what you already have, while giving the new divisions time to settle in and establish roots before the heat of next summer.
And hellebores are one of those plants we think deserve WAY more attention from cut flower growers. They’re perennial, shade tolerant, incredibly long lived, and their early season blooms are absolutely gorgeous in arrangements. And when harvested at the right stage, hellebores can have a vase life of 3–4 weeks! 🤍
So… here’s hoping our first attempt at hellebore division gives us lots of happy little plants! 🤞🌿
We’ll keep you posted on how they do!
