I actually have hellebores in both sun and shade areas. They seem to do well everywhere...unless there is no drainage and it's soggy. You should just try planting them wherever you have space...because they bloom before it gets hot. Granted, I don't have them in direct sun with no shade at all, but they can get a lot of sun as long as there is a small amt of shade at some point during the day. Hope you see yours soon!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651081377378962304.post-86474274122637046852013-02-05T21:13:21.920-05:002013-02-05T21:13:21.920-05:00I hope to see my hellebores soon, but I don't ...I hope to see my hellebores soon, but I don't have nearly as many as you do. After all, I only have a tiny spot of shade to put them in. But first, we have to get rid of all this snow!

I'll be they are going to do well. Especially the H. Niger, which blooms earlier than most of the others. I am SOOO sorry that I still cannot leave a comment on your blog. There is some huge problem with my account not being able to get through on a WP blog. When I have time I am still attempting to remedy the situating but it is not an easy process. It seems completely wrong that WP has that much control over me. One day I will get through. Just don't give up on me in the meantime. Thank you for another visit!

I determined that it was most likely the squirrels. They don't eat them, but they are destructive and chew up the buds. So this year, I sprayed them really good with Bobbex right after I trimmed off the foliage. Bobbex dries clear and leaves no residue so they will still look good in photos. They generally are critter resistant...to all but those pesky squirrels that live in my backyard!

I need to visit your blog so I can see more of them! I would be happy to share seedlings/seeds with you. I just would have to figure out how to manage that. So far the only hellebore that disperses seedlings is the H. hybridus/orientalis; those have been in the ground for years. The others are newer and some are only 1, 2 or maybe 3 yrs old but not very big. I have not seen any seedlings on them. If theres a way to get seeds from the flowers I'd be happy to try sending you some, but you'll have to explain to me how to do that.

I am looking forward to hearing/seeing you speak at the Chinn Center for your 'Seeing Trees' presentation! I adore your sweet arrangements on your windowsill...such creative ways to display everything, living and non-living, that most people just wouldn't think of doing. I could have left the foliage, and often I do...but I was eager to see the buds/blooms since they were hidden so far beneath those huge older leaves. Most of those leaves were brown and torn up from wear and tear by various critters and I just decided to pitch them. I should have put some of them in an arrangement on my windowsill...it just never crossed my mind ;)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651081377378962304.post-35783532382566896882013-01-30T23:16:42.698-05:002013-01-30T23:16:42.698-05:00Lovely photos.
