In December I sent off for some Hellebores to Farmhouse Nurseries in
LLan......... Well somewhere in Wales. I have to say that the
collection and the five specific plants that I received were so good
three local gardening friends wanted them so I have to now order some
more! The fact that most of their hellebores have more upright stems and
flowers means that you can see the flowers that much better.

The plants were huge and all but three were in flower so you could see
the type and range of varieties. I got some doubles, some spotted and so
on.
I also got a pot of seedlings so I have no idea what they'll be!

I do have a question..........
Only having grown them in the garden I would like to pot up the special
ones to display nearer the house. What size pot does anyone suggest I
use? I have crammed them into 9 or 10 inch ones but think they'll need a
bigger pot to grow better.
Will they thrive in a pot or would it be better to plant them in the
garden eventually? The nurseries web site is really good for showing off
the plants etc but not so hot on growing tips.
