(15,300 posts)I cut some hellebores and brought them in thinking theyd open in a warm room. They didnt. Ive had buds in a vase for a week now. Not that Im impatient for spring or anything.

(32,680 posts)I put in three different varieties and these are the first to bloom. The other two don't even have buds yet.

(15,300 posts)My hellebores took a year or so to really settle in. Mine are a variety called Pink Frost, which bud early but bloom late, if that makes sense. Theyre a fairly low growing variety and spread slowly to make a lovely ground cover in a lightly shaded area.
