Mixed Hellebores (Helleborus orientalis Mix)

I had 3 sprouting roots out of the 5 that came in. I amended the soil with earthworm castings, planted and waited. It's been a month and 2 out of the 5 came up. One has one single leaf, but that's still ok for a new hellebore. I paid full price for these, so NOT worth the expense for me.

I just received my 5 mixed hellebores. The roots look very healthy and already started sprouting in the bag. I'll update as they grow

Arrived in great condition. We have terrible soil so I did enrich with quite a bit of potting soil and despite having to sit in the crisper drawer of my fridge for 10 days because they arrived the day before I left town, they've thrived. The lady I spoke to on the phone about what to do with the plants while I was away could not have been more helpful.

Bare root plants arrived not looking too great. Carefully planted them in a semi-shaded area (as I have had success with Hellebores before) but only 2 of the 5 emerged this past spring with only 1 or 2 minuscule leaves. It may take several seasons for them to bloom if they survive. Although these were not inexpensive, I would rather pay more for a potted plant with a more established root system.

i planted 10 - not a single one came up- none even sprouted

The Hellebore's, only one has a bloom coming, two didn't grow.

Four of six plants grew, but not robust. I am hoping they survive the winter and are more robust this spring/summer. The plants that grew were the bigger ones, the smaller plants/root systems were really small to start with. Hoping for good growth this spring.

So I don't have a lot of experience...I was unprepared for squirrels. I got the roots and they looked good. I got them planted and it took a bit for them come up. Sadly the right when the first leaves started to show, all of them got dug up by squirrels. I found one remaining set of roots flung over on the grass it was dried out and not in real good shape so I tried to replant it but I got nothing so far. I plan to reorder and try these again but with a wire cage over them until they get established.

I just received 20 roots. The size of some is as big as my hand, others are only a third of that. They look healthy. It is to soon to tell how they will do. I planted them right away. I hope to have flowers next year early season, I chose for hellaborus as they are one of the few flowers that blossum early in the season and are good in the shade.

These arrived with a good deal of shoots on them. They look very healthy. I got them in the ground as soon as they arrived. I'm expecting them to do well this spring.
