An excellent choice! This is a ballardiae hybrid so very different from the more typical xhybridus forms. Because of its complex parentage, this is a hellebore you do not want to prune heavily or remove all foliage in late winter. Unlike the xhybridus forms, this blooms on the leaf stalks so any pruning or removal of older damaged foliage should be done after the blooms have faded.

Mine has been in bloom since early December and is still looking great!

oh really! that would be great ! I have camellias for winter but saw these and will be snagging a few up :)

Can you look at this picture below and tell me.. if i move around the liriope and hostas, i will have room to put one cinnamon snow in between the three bloomstruck hydrangeas (almost where the hostas are currently) ? This area is bare bare during the winter and i think these cinnamon snow's will liven up the area

Wouldn't put them in between the hydrangeas........they will grow large enough to cover the hellebores, at least during the growing season. But sufficiently to the front (and slightly offset) should be fine.

so like this.. ? ill take the hostas out completely, then add the pink circles for the cinnamon snow and the green arrows as the liriope. The online article says that cinnamon snow should get 18" so this should work i think.

how far up from the sidewalk should i place the center of the helleborus ?

I would actually plant them more or less where the hostas are now and probably add a third on the right hand side. And fill in the bed edge with just the liriope.

Im always open to more ! haha thanks, now i have some work for the weekend. Well actually, if i am planting around the hostas, can i dig them up right now while they are dormant ? Ive never tried, but should i just dig where i think they are or is there something, like a bulb, that i will be able to tell ?

Hostas have a pretty dense root mass - you should be able to tell rather easily. I use a garden fork to dig up plants like that....much easier than using a spade.

ok great. ill do that! thanks for the help, i cant wait to get these in the ground while they are still blooming.

OH NO !!!!

I just went to move these to their new spot and I got one Cinnamon Snow and one JOKER !!

I need some help though, they both look almost the same but the stems on the Joker are more upright than the cinnamon snow. Cinnamon has more red stems but joker looks dark stems. I'l try to get a picture but both have similar color blooms and 5 leaf blooms. The SKU number was the same but they had different big tags

I wouldn't bother to return for an exchange......they do look very similar but a slightly different combination of species involved in the hybridizing. Joker has a reputation of being one of the most floriferous selections to come on the market, so a pretty stunning plant in its own right. Why not just plant one of each??
