Does anyone grow this, a friend recommended it and said it was evergreen. There are some impressive pictures in database, I noticed the red edges on the green flowers.

Thanks! I like it, and the fact that it is evergreen. I try to add something every year to help with the dead-looking yard. Did I read that it comes true from seed? That is good to know but I hear it takes forever to grow one from seed. By the looks of Song-of-Joys picture I would have thought that it was self-sowing. Love it!... Green Grin!

I love to find little seedlings beneath mine to share. I try to pull back the mulch and maybe add a little compost to give the tiny seeds a good fertile place to land.

I started with just a single plant and now it looks more like a tight shrub. I need to divide it I suppose but I like that it is almost 18 inches across or more and loaded with blooms.

What does everyone else do? When do you divide them?

Thanks for that link, I love PAINTED JEWELS!

'Berry Swirl' is another favorite. When I saw that one it went straight into my shopping cart! Does anyone know if these doubles produce doubles from seeds?

I have noidea about the secret life of hellebores.
I wonder if google would know if doubles are hybreds and steril.

ooh!! Beautiful. Thumbs up




Some self so freely, but I read that they can be successfully grown from seed if they are fresh. Do your homework because some are sterile. I like the steril ones the best because they bloom better,since the plant does not waste energy producing seed. I have a sterile Hibiscus and the flowers are spectacular. Green Grin!

see if this helps:
