winter care

philipm
18 years ago

I am in zone 5 and at least at some point it will get cold. It is not unusual to get down to 15-20 degrees below zero at least at some point.

It has been warm and I have noticed new growth from my orientalis hellebores which I have had for 4-5 years. I normally see this growth in March. I can't really make the growth go back under the ground. Aside from just not worrying should I mulch a lot before it does get cold? Has this growth been there always in November and I just didn't notice?
