Hellebores are they lunch for voles????

20 years ago

I would like to start growing Hellebores but I have a vole problem in my woodland garden area. Will they eat my Hellebores? I was working in that garden the other day and found a small sign which read " Lin's Cafe good cheap eats" golly they didn't even spell my name right!

Hellebores are very toxic, so far I've never seen damage from anything but grasshoppers (and even then it's been minor)...perhaps it even kills the grasshoppers ? :)

Mice and voles just love the seedlings. When they're about 2" tall they crop them instead of watercress for their salads.
