Bev, they may be plug ones for floweriing next year. Ashwood supply larger ones but pricier. Hellebores are such a pleasure right now

Yes they are plugs. They won't be delivered 'till April but they are really beautiful.

On the cheap note Ideal world shopping channel have 18 Hellebores for about £20 +£5p+p today. It includes

9 x Double Queen Mix 2 x Burgundy 2 x Pink Spotted 5 x Anemone Flowered

hellebores in this range are:

Double queen mix - mix of double flowers good colour consistency without spots
Burgundy - rich burgundy cup-shaped flowers
Pink spotted - red pink flowers with a fairly regular and densely populated small purple spots towards the centre of each sepal
Anemone flowered - a delightful variety of hellebore in which each flower has an attractive ring of frilly petals

I must admit I am really tempted

I know what you mean Bev. You won't get that quality from GC . I plant mine allowing for summer plants in between like astrantias, astilbes, etc. then it's an easy maintenance border. You are getting selected hellebores from the grower too ...better to get less with top quality. Do you want a batch of 18 that will include any old seedlings??
