I am at the cottage and have made a new "double dug" bed and planted 10 2- year old hellebores. They are not all happy but the four days in a box and 3 with bare roots in water just may be why. All but 2 are showing signs of perking up after 4 days in the ground. I also sowed some celadine (wood) poppie seeds in and surrounding that area.
Thanks to those who responded about my zone concerns.....we'll see how these little gems do in this over- the- bluff- from- Lake Michigan prosper.
