Ginger most Hellebores are rated zones 5-8 so I would think you would be ok. They are pretty drought tolerant once established. They are sold as shade plants but by me seem to do much better with a good amount of sun. I have one in my full sun garden for about 10 years now and it does great. By you I guess I would give them more shade. I'm glade that they finally seem to be catching on, even Lowes sells some in the early spring now.
