I have a Hellebores Orientalis that done well all last winter under the canopy of a sycamore. This summer it's health has declined rapidly. I've read it should have been kept from Mid day sunlight....its position did leave it open to this.Many leaves appeared scorched and then some blackened and died off. I have acidic soil. I believe it likes lime so I added a small bit earlier..no improvement. I've now moved it but I fear now I'll loose it. Any ideas? Thanks Gerry

Any advice or suggestions regarding grasses that I could use in my garden? I am looking for some grasses and have identified some like Carex but just wondering if there are any others you could suggest that would give spectacular colour and are ideally shallow rooted as they will be near a biocycle unit.
