Hellebores from seed

They are beautiful. The pink one is especially gorgeous.

A wonderful collection you have there like Majories the crossing double pink well done.

All from seed - I am so impressed. I only have two and they are planted at the furthest point from the house so I don't see them much. I read that they don't like to be moved once established so I haven't tried.

Yes, Ginellie, I read that about being moved, that might have been the problem although I cut out a fair amount of soil around the roots.

Oh Siris, what a splendid collection of hellebores. Each one is very pretty and to have grown them all from seed is a real achievement.

The deliberate cross is dreamy- you must be thrilled with it! I only have two doubles but they seem to be doing quite well (the red is on one of my recent pics) though the plants don't look quite as robust as the singles. You have a fabulous collection altogether - bet you have a big smile when you go down the garden!

Oh I say Siris that deliberate cross is gorgeous, I hope it stays strong for you, think of the achievement if it appears the same in years to come, I find that my singles do seem sturdier, spread themselves willingly and also always produce more blooms, I do have a few doubles but as said they are definitely slow growers, here in my garden they are also the first to actually come into flower....I waited years for some of mine to produce flowers, I was going to get rid but Spritz told me to be patient, now that was a very long time ago, in the end I did move them into a sunnier part of my garden and they have been happier..Yours is a lovely selection...

You have a nice variety of colours there. I get many seedlings from mine but they never seem to flower.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Some of my Hellebores are in deep shade, so haven't opened the flower buds yet, also my planting-out bed is shady, so if I find a nice one I move it to a display place. That's probably why they sulk afterwards.
Ha,ha, Stera, the garden isn't big enough 'to go down it'.

Hywel you once gave me a red one that has only just started flowering well - I thought it was one of your seedlings?

Those are lovely ! Well done Siris.

Siris, today I noticed one I didn't recognise from previous years, it must be one I grew from your seed, I must take a photo.
