Hello Theresa,
    Probably maturity is the issue. After germination most hellebores take 3
to 4 years before first bloom. Look much better at 5 years of age with a few
eyes to the crown. Most nurseries only carry the seedlings into the second
year and then sell. That leaves you with 2 or more years to go before bloom.
My suggestion is to have another glass of good wine and move on to the next
perennial on your list. Next year you certainly should see some buds.
