Mine often bloom in January, but this year, they're still snoozing, even though we've had a mild winter so far. Don't know why. By the way, I think your leaves are just showing normal winterburn; perfectly normal. I don't bother to trim mine; seems to take care of itself, though I presume you could trim them if you wanted. I always look forward to my hellebores as the first sign that spring is around the corner.

While I wait for mine to come around, I was just in NC for the weekend and found this little guy just waking up!
