Hellebores - Propagating and Buying

Propagating Hellebores
Hellebores are propagated using two methods, by sowing seed or by division. Probably the easiest way is by division (see below for more detail) which has the added advantage that all plants will be identical. Most hellebores also produce seed which can be sown. The disadvantages of seed, is that some varieties will turn out different from the parents and not all seed grows very easily. The great advantage of seed however is that you can collect it from neighbours without harming the parent plant.
