Oooh theres some stunning ones! Im really enjoying the pictures!
Gosh that Malory is covered in flowers @pitter-patter its gorgeous, how lovely in winter.
Having coveted @Fire 's annas red last year and it being out of stock, ive just checked and lots available so I have ordered that and Glendas gloss, id not seen that before and its very striking @Papi Jo your pictures lovely.
What lovely pics, everyone. I'm positively drooling at such gorgeous Hellebores! I bought a little green/white flowering one today, with the intention of putting it in a large pot with one or two Spring bulbs to brighten up my patio. I'd like to ask a question here, if I may. What is the best soil/compost to use in this pot? I do intend to plant out the Hellebore at a later date, if that helps. Thank you.
If it's only going to be in a pot for a matter of weeks, multipurpose compost will be fine. I recently did what you are planning to do and used a mix of 3 compost/1 grit as I'm going to plant in the ground after flowering. You could add some soil based compost like John Innes no 3 but I don't think that's necessary unless you are going to leave your plant in the pot for more than six weeks. Hope this helps!
Yes - it won't matter what it's in if it's only for a short while @janetfoss . Long term potted, it would need a more substantial medium - a soil/loam based product, or just some soil from your garden if you have any to spare.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'm thinking about getting a couple for my sister's garden as she wants some winter interest. How much would you expect to be paying for examples like these?
I'll look at some more online prices but just wondering if the prices at my local GC are reasonable.
