I cut some hellebores and brought them in thinking they’d open in a warm room. They didn’t. I’ve had buds in a vase for a week now. Not that I’m impatient for spring or anything.

I put in three different varieties and these are the first to bloom. The other two don't even have buds yet.

My hellebores took a year or so to really settle in. Mine are a variety called Pink Frost, which bud early but bloom late, if that makes sense. They’re a fairly low growing variety and spread slowly to make a lovely ground cover in a lightly shaded area.
