I adore Helibores and found this clip most interesting. I can't wait for spring to try it. Carol is the best!

The video on this site

seeems to be the wrong one - it relates to pruning with a different presenter.

The only reason you might need to cross pollinate Hellebores is if you are attempting to creat a seed strain of your own. I have never bothered and the seed set for us is phenominal, to the extent that we have to dead head or become overwhelmed with the self sown plants.
