  Do the white ones stay pretty white over the years (unlike the red ones, which don't seem to stay red, but go muddy)?

  Fire, I planted my three years ago and he didn't changed colour so far. I hope that he will stay pure white.

  The niger ones do stay white @Fire, and I have another white [White Lady] which also does, but they aren't pure white - some have a bit of purple spotting.

  Just an update: all my Hellebores are doing great, and all flowering ! They don't seem to be bothered being in a pot, so I'm happy  !
  
  Happy New Year to you all.

  Whilst on the subject, does anyone have a name for the one with a yellow flower ?  I think it flowered Spring/early summer.
