Thank you Pistil for the information on the hellebores. I have been considering putting some in this year but have not done my homework yet. But you raised some really great points and I now have a question. If the hellebores self seed, and they do not come true from seed, then over time do you not need to replace or divide the mother plant to keep the color/bloom consistency? Also, where is the best place to purchase the hellebore plant? I truly like Bluestone's selection, however, I can never seem to get a decent plant out of them. Thanks for the help.
