How to prune helleborus orientalis 'ivory prince'

Late autumn to early winter (before flower buds emerge). Cut all old leaf stems cleanly at the base in late autumn. Remove spotted or damaged leaves at any time. Do not cut back flower stems unless they have fully finished and seeds are not wanted.

Once annually (leaf removal); remove damaged growth as needed. Remove old foliage in late autumn or early winter, before flower buds push through, to improve air circulation and display the creamy-white blooms clearly. Cut leaves at the base with clean secateurs. Remove any diseased or damaged leaves throughout the year. Beyond this seasonal leaf removal, no other pruning is needed.
