Mark Dowling Staff asked 16 years ago

I have a Hellebores Orientalis that done well all last winter under the canopy of a sycamore. This summer it’s health has declined rapidly. I’ve read it should have been kept from Mid day sunlight….its position did leave it open to this.Many leaves appeared scorched and then some blackened and died off. I have acidic soil. I believe it likes lime so I added a small bit earlier..no improvement. I’ve now moved it but I fear now I’ll loose it. Any ideas? Thanks Gerry
