Droopy Helleborus

17 years ago

Finally after weeks of waiting for better weather (in Vancouver) I brought my newly purchased plants outside and left them next to the house for a week. Then I planted them in super spacious pots. Most of them are doing well. However, I have 3 that are looking rather droopy. One of them had a flower broken off 2 weeks prior and is looking pathetic. I have it in the shade and mist it in the evening. NO CHANGE. The second is also a hybrid as the first (a dark purple) and its leaves seem healthy but the flower stems are super droopy. The third lot came in a huge bunch. They are a hybrid as well but a white with purple speckles. When I purchased them they came with a lot of growth with a few flowers. NOW the whole lot of this pot is droopy. There are a few new growths in the middle that seem to be growing well.

Should I cut off the flowers from the dark purple? If so, from the bottom of the stalk?

Should I cut off any of the flowers from the giant droopy lot?

I'm torn between putting them in the shade or sun. I've been told, they look droopy most likely because they are getting too much sun.

Help Please! I'm new to this and I so badly want them to weather this season.
