I think I'm the only person who's been unsuccessful with hellebores this year. Mine not only did nothing, but then they disappeared. I think they were in totally the wrong place. My neighbour's are a bit leggy so perhaps it's a local thing? Everywhere else though they've just been stunning! I was admiring them at Harlow Carr yesterday.

Ours self seed and produce babies but none have flowered yet as we haven't had them too long. They certainly provide interest when there is little else but to devote an area of the garden you have to have somewhere that you don't mind them resting in during summer. As it is nothing much would thrive under the magnolia when it is in full leaf so it's an ideal plant for this part of our garden.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-79462878946387959482013-03-14T14:57:55.579+00:002013-03-14T14:57:55.579+00:00I am coming to love Hellebores more and more they ...I am coming to love Hellebores more and more they really are good value for money - have you ever tried to dig a clump up and split them - I wonder if you can?
