Product Description

HELLEBORUS: The genus Helleborus covers a group of perennial plants from Europe and Asia. Virtually all are garden worthy, though the acaulescent (stemless) hybrids have become the most popular forms found in gardens. These perennials are vigorous growers and abundant bloomers in rich, alluring colors like deep red-wine, cherry-blossom pink, to soft, creamy lime and pure, snow white. They are undemanding when provided with just a little shade and well-drained soil.

A thoroughbred mixture of color in these superb Helleborus which insist on flowering very early in the year when nothing else ventures out. Expect greens, pinks, beaujolais and almost black with an indescribable range of colors in between. Hardy perennial. Height: 18". Correct name: Helleborus orientalis.

3.0 out of 5 stars Complicated to grow from seed, October 18, 2010

This review is from: Lenten Rose 25 Seeds - Helleborus - Shade Perennial

OK, so I have to admit that I did NOT follow the instructions for growing these seeds. So the fact that they simply didn't do anything is not exactly surprising. When I got the seeds in the mail I was so excited, but then I read the instructions....I found them complicated. Something like, sow the seeds, keep them at 45degrees for 6 weeks...huh? Well I don't own a greenhouse, I don't have a place in my house to fuss with seedlings, and I don't have room in my fridge even if I could make it 45 degrees, so I just decided to sow them directly outdoors and see if anything happened. Nothing. So, to the seller I would recommend posting the instructions for potential buyers before they buy. To potential buyers: you might want to pay the money for the plants rather than the seeds. That's my next move.
