Hellebores

[stella]

Hi does any one have any Hellbore seeds going spare as I would really like to try these next year and I think you have to start them off early. I can send a SAE or I have a few bits I could swop. Thanks

Sent you a PM.

PM'd you too!

Hellebore seeds need to be fresh

Hi

My past experience of sowing hellebores successfully is that the seed
needs to be incoveniently fresh as poss for successful germination.
I bow though to others experience. The best time to sow is about
the end of May when the seed has fully ripened.
I love hellebores and have quite a selection. I have grown them for
years.

I can save some seeds this year if anyone is interested in trying to grow
this gorgeous indispensible spring flower.
