Shelf life is a concern with Helleborus for cutting. Branches can go limp quickly when put inside. Despite that , it is a popular product with florists.

Always use Florissant 830, this has a positive effect on shelf life. It helps to harvest riper (the first flowers colored through). Branches are then less soft and easier to keep.

Helleborus for cutting can be grown in a cold greenhouse or roller greenhouse. Outdoors, possibly under shade cloth is also possible.
