Helleborus orientalis - Lenten rose

Feed Helleborus orientalis : We should enrich the soil near our perennials with some manure or earthworm humus, or with some slow release fertilizer. Besides improving the soil, making it softer and permeable, organic fertilization brings a good dose of nitrogen, which melts in the soil in about 3-4 months.
