    Lovely @Lena_vs_Deer
    What is the name of the second one down please, the one with the maroon edge to the petals?

    This is a picture of why it's not a good idea to keep hellebores in small pots or window boxes long term. I dug this one up today and it had a huge, deep root ball about 50cm across, 10kg.

    This is a really useful overview today on hellebores from a hellebore nursery  - native regions, propagation, growing conditions…

    It is my first year growing Hellebores, I thought they are spring flowering but we are in August and mine have started flowering again, I live in South Wales so have had plenty of rain!, Is anyone else’s growing?

    My Corsican hellebores are miserable as I haven’t watered them. The Marbled Group are slug-slaughtered but new leaves will hopefully push through in the spring.

    Yes I noticed one of mine is in flower, I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it here.

    A couple of mine in pots have just flowered again. Bonkers in August!

    Our 'Christmas Carol' is flowering now and the 'Anna's Red' is covered in flowerbuds already. I'll post piccies when I get chance.
