The common name "Stinking Hellebore" is not misleading.
Helleborus foetidus is known to self-seed more frequently than other hellebore species. It thrives in an average to moist, well-drained soil, in partial to full shade. At flowering time, they require consistent moisture but are generally drought tolerant during the non-flowering season. They do not like to be moved once established. Remove damaged leaves in late winter (or before the buds appear), to encourage new growth. Disease resistant.
