Hello Lars!!! Mange tusind tak!! I learned so much from you! I received many many Hellebores from my mother-in-law last year and my husband put them in a tote to transplant later. Well, he completely forgot and they stayed outside in those totes for many months. Rain poured all over them. Snow fell on them too. I kept telling him how expensive they were to buy. Well he finally put them in the ground, but they had so many brown leaves. So after watching this video, I now know what to do. And believe it or not, they haven't died. Ugh! I wish he was as excited about our garden as you are about yours. Love watching you! So I say....Mange tusind tak!!!
Selv tak! 🥰 I do hope those survived in the totes. They are quite tough... so they should be just fine with some fresh air and attention. Hils din mand ('say hi to your husband')
@@perennial-garden they somewhat did. I will definitely tell hubby you said Hi. I only wish he was as excited as you and I when it comes to our gardens. Keep educating us Lars! I learn so much from you! And your smile is sooooo awesome! Have a great weekend!
Thank you for the terrific video! I always have more baby seedlings than I would ever have time to grow and plant so I share them with other flower farmers. Hellebores are such generous plant mothers!!
I am getting rid of my hosta, food for deer and rabbits, and replacing them with hellebores. I bought eight of them, at $24 each. Beautiful, healthy and large, I know they will be great, but what a price tag. I will definitely look for seedlings.
Hi Hellebores are beautiful. I would be inclined to leave the seedlings around the plant and let them grow on their own. Unless of course you prefer to remove the smaller ones.🌟👏
So true! We remove them just to either pot them on for plant markets or to move to other places. If we had the space tho... it would be great to leave them! At the cemetery, he has to remove them because they need to keep a more 'organised' look to the spaces.
I'll have to check and see if I have any babies from my two plants. I didn't know that Hellebore sap is poisonous. I always learn something from you. Thank you!
Good to know this! I have a few plants in my garden last month and about to buy more. Now i learnt this from you I will look for baby ones, hopefully they will produce some for me! Thanks !
Great! Hope you find a whole bunch of free ones. We repotted 35 from that first plant in the video. We’ll give most away as we don’t have space for 35 😅
I really love your channel! I am in zone 8b NC, USA. I received a beautiful Hellebore for Christmas. Should I go ahead and plant it outside now or wait until spring? I have several Hellebores. Thanks!
You can go ahead and plant it outside - unless you’re in (or are expecting) a really bad frost. Otherwise, it loves the cold weather and will do fine now :)
Hi Lars (not sure if I spelt your name correctly) I planted some lovely white Helibors a few weeks ago in my front garden. I'm guessing it will be March for the seedlings. I don't have a green house. Would the seedlings survive outside? I have a conservatory but it's only geared up for my sewing, not plants😅 Thanks again for all the great videos
That is exactly how you spell my name :) And it’s wonderful that you’ve planted white hellebores in your garden! If you’re waiting for seedlings, hellebores are slow growers and their seeds need a cold period to germinate. Keep in mind that if you’re waiting for seeds from the flowers you planted, those might not germinate until next spring, after they've made flowers, seeds, etc as the process takes time. Seedlings can survive outside, as hellebores are quite hardy, but they are still young and more delicate than established plants. If your winters have frosty nights, you might want to protect them with a light mulch to keep them cozy. Your conservatory could also double as a temporary nursery if you wanted to dig some of them up and move them. A small tray or pot near a bright window would be enough, and you can move them outside gradually once the weather warms up. Hope you're having a great holiday season :) - Lars
Do the seedlings come true to the mother plant? Or are Hellebore open pollinated seeds? I've never grown them because they are so expensive...but maybe I could get someone to share a seedling or two :)
Can they be divided like other perennials? They are very expensive here in the USA. I didn’t realize they self sow. I started a new shade garden and would love some!
@@kristinepeterson6761 Yes, you can dig them up and divide the clumps. This is best done in early autumn, although you can also do it in spring, straight after flowering. :)

They really are! Greetings from Denmark 🥰

The deer shouldn't be as crazy about these as they are hosta. And these will give flowers and color when we need it the most.
I love Hellebores but I didn’t know they could self seed , I must check my plants to see if I am lucky to have new ones growing.
I hope you find some! This time of year here, you'll find a lot. (You can compare our zone to Zone 8a)

You just might - especially this time of year. And the “babies” can be different than the mother - so who knows what the pollinators helped create ❤️

English clear and engaging thank you
Thank you for saying that 🥰. I do hope I’m easy to understand. Way better at Danish tho. Ha ha
Thank you for watching ❤️
Great information on growing, propagating and caring for hellebores. I need to check mine for seedlings.
Thanks for watching, Zenith! I hope yours have seedlings :)
Thank you for sharing, love fron from Washington State USA 👍😊🙏❤️
Thank YOU for watching 💚💚 Big hello from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thank you for the information Lars. I just got my first hellobore. I hope they do spread and reseed, they are expensive.
I hope they do for you, too! They spread a lot here in our climate.
Thank you, well explained and thorough!
You’re very welcome. Thank you for watching ❤️
Thanks for your tips🤗
You're welcome! Thank you for watching 🥰

Thanks, I appreciate that you show us how the babies look like. I wonder which variety was the last one with the nice long foliage ?
It's a Helleborus foetidus (stinky hellebore, it's called). It's a very special one for sure... and doesn't stink 😅
I was more thinking about the plant we can see at 7:48 but maybe it's not a hellebore 🤔😅@@perennial-garden
The one I see is a hellebore. Altho there are other plants in the garden - like Achillea in that flower bed, too.

Yes, this is a great way to get free Hellebores! But unfortunately, in my cold area (zone 5), It took 5 years to start bloom.
Really?! Yikes. We’re lucky to not be that cold then 😅. We’re comparable to zone 8a.
New to your channel I don’t have any Hellebore plants . I would love to have some do they sell them in seed packs
Welcome to the channel! I'm sure they sell seeds... not sure in your area... but a local garden center might even have them.
Do the seedlings come true to the mother plant? Or are Hellebore open pollinated seeds? I've never grown them because they are so expensive...but maybe I could get someone to share a seedling or two :)
They can be different than the mother - so you can’t guarantee the color. But they’ll still be pretty ❤️
Can they be divided like other perennials? They are very expensive here in the USA. I didn’t realize they self sow. I started a new shade garden and would love some!
@@kristinepeterson6761 Yes, you can dig them up and divide the clumps. This is best done in early autumn, although you can also do it in spring, straight after flowering. :)
Hellebores I see sold in Ohio are sterile. No seedlings.
Oh no 😩
If hellebores self sown so much, how come they are so expensive?
That part!
I think because they’re pretty in the winter - when we’re all looking for flowers 😅
What zone will those grow in?
Zones 3-9 depending on the type ❤
They are expensive here
Same here - fortunately they self seed and you can easily dig up and move the small ones.
