  • Think it helps if the parent plants are special themselves. Hellebore seedling that cross in the garden are often just a dirty plum colour.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Thats gorgeous @Peadar! Really covered in buds. I'm hoping mine does as well!
  • @Fran IOM is that blue sky I glimpsed? That yellow one is unusual.
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

    I only bought it in early January, and whilst it had a good few buds i didn't realise it would produce so many flowers. I thought it was quite expensive at 18 euro but delighted with it now. It's my first helleborus. How do they do over the years? Do they get any bigger or spread?

    If you allow the flowers to set seed, they will spread slowly. It takes three years from seed to flower, so you need to recognise the seddlings so that you don't weed them out.
