Hellebore- can they get affected by root weevils?

I just found a couple of my hellebores that are in pots in my baby greenhouse to have some notches on their leaves. They look just like the leaves on a couple of my rhodies.
So is it possible?
Please, someone let me know. Will have to treat them in March.

I've noticed the same thing around here. Not sure if it is root weevil or not but does look the same as on rhodies.

Hum ok, I have had hellebores for about 4 years and haven't noticed it before. But maybe these new baby hellebores are more tender compared to those tough momma leaves?
Well, I may just put my Bayer Complete Insect control on in March then. I was just wondering if they attack hellebores too.

They will attack almost anything in their path. My hellebores have not been attacked too much, but that's because there are so many other tasty plants to choose from around here. It should be easy to treat these as they are in pots. I would unpot them over the garbage can and dispose of all the soil. Then just untangle the roots and search through until you find the larvae, which look like little grubs. Kill those and any adults you find, then repot with new soil. You might not even have to spray since they are contained.

Hum, duh, wonder why I didn't think of that idea.
Thanks so much pixydish!

I noticed a lot of those root weevil type notches in my rock rose leaves, but I also had a dish of beer under the rock rose to get the slugs, and it got full of little black beetley looking things that I think may be the root weevils! I would love it if beer killed both slugs and root weevils!

EEEW! I hate those things!! Get them under control quick before they take over the world!

I learned a valuable lesson the other day. I had bought a really nice looking birdsnest spruce and was taking it out of the pot to plant it. I noticed that the soil in one area looked a little dry and compacted so I went to loosen it up a bit. Tons of weevil larvae fell onto the ground! It was completely disgusting! I squished as many as I saw, but then I didn't trust that I had them all so I sprayed the ground around the hole, the soil in the hole, and disposed of the soil the plant was in. I removed every single bit of the soil from the roots, to, then sprayed the plant for good measure! I hate to spray with poison. It's bad for everybody and everything, but I draw the line at weevils.

Here's a fun slug related activity: after dark, take a hand sprayer filled with two parts water to one part plain old household ammonia. Get your flashlight and go slug hunting. Spray every slug with this water, even the babies. They make a nice foam when sprayed and the ammonia turns to nitrogen in the garden. It's a win-win! This will not hurt most plants. Just be careful around really tender plants like woodland flowers.
