They'll seed about well if you're a selective weeder. You get to recognise them very quickly and their usually very close under the parent which is a bit of a giveaway.
The ones under front large plant are in a bark covered bed so pop up lovely, I've transplanted loads and given some away. Some seem to self seed easier than others ?
I haven't noticed that but it may be so. If you've got any of the doubles they may not. I've never examined a double hellebore but a lot of double flowers are sterile
That must be why i found hundreds of babies around my original plant being surrounded by bark. My others being near pond have fine gravel.... what should I use for mulch there?
I still have some of the previous babies which have sheltered over winter, I shall pot on again soon and plant on as advised.
Oh yes creating your own, that would be great. How many varieties do you have?

It is a bit addictive but I still only grow the singles with hanging heads. I'm not so attracted to the newer ones.

Hellebores are one of my favourites. I took this pic a couple of weeks ago.
