    Are just starting to bud.

    Although my helebores are in the ground ,quite like to plant some of them in containers.

    Just wondered if anyone has grown them in containers before?

    No, but it makes sense to grow them in pots. If you have the white flowering ones the rain splashing on the soil can dirty them. In a pot you could use gravel or woodchip as a covering.

    Got nice deep red ones and the usual white christmas rose.

    I did have Harvington deep shades of night a real beauty but it does not seem to have grown this year may have lost it to the winter.

    I have never tried to divide them .

    Also would love to have a yellow helebore.
