Hoping hellebores will survive cold weather forecast for this weekend

My hellebores are in bud.


I am hoping they will survive cold weather forecast for this weekend.

I like hellbores. They flower for such a long time. I buy plants and plant seeds where the label says "flowers July to September". I think, "Great, 3 months of flowering". What they really mean is that sometime in that 3 month period I will get a few days of flowers.

Hellebores, however, are in flower for about 2 months. As they flower in winter I don't see them very often!

They are good for Queen Bumblebees out and about early in the year.
