Love Japanese Forest Gress. Have been hoping to get 'Nicholas', it turns redish in the fall.
I have a question?
I was out in my north flower bed scrapping moss with a hula hoe and I cut the top of of one of my hellebore. They are just starting to send shoots up. Did I kill it?
I hate that moss, wish there was somthing to kill it that wouldn't kill my plants. I have to do this every year. After I put some new compost down then I'm going to place some lime chips down to keep the black spot down. Maybe the lime chips will kill the moss too. Read it likes acid soils.
I went to a Dan Hinkley lecture last year and he said hellebore like some-what alkiline soil and to drive chalk into the soil around the hellebores. What you guys think about that?
Sorry I think thats 3 questions.
