Ho do you keep the hellebore from flopping?

Hi Michelle,

Hellebore lifespan after cutting is most dependent upon when you harvest them. It's best not to harvest until the stamens have started to fall off and the seed pods emerge, and then keep them adequately hydrated. Floret has a great blog post about it including images that show how the flowers look when they're ready to harvest. You can find that here: https://www.floretflowers.com/say-hello-hellebores/.

Hope that helps.

Thank you,
