Re: Questions...nursery, ornamec, and lenten rose
Hello Dan,
I have never had a rabbit touch a hellebore in my garden.... now a deer,
now the resident raccoon. I have quite a few species including your niger.
One of the many reasons for growing hellebores is nothing wants to mess them
as a menu item.
If you are having a problem there are two avenues to travel... one
eliminate the bunny and the problem. Two .. what you are doing now. Either
way is worth the effort. H niger is a wonderful little hellebore for winter
color.
