Hellibores

     Louise and others
     
     I think I'm a little late in answering the question of hellibores and 
     hardiness, but here's my two penn'th anyway.  My mum in South East 
     Scotland has them and complains they seed about like weeds and she's 
     forever pulling them up from the gravel paths.  They don't get much in 
     the way of heat or sun up there (My skin still retains its 
     semi-translucent blue colouring from having grown up there), but they 
     get some nasty snow ice and bitter winds, wind chill down to about 
     -20C for several days on end.  
     
     This year I decided not to plant winter pansies in the tubs my spring 
     bulbs are in but to cadge some of mum's hellibore seedlings from her 
     intstead.  Anyone know how soon these young plants flower?  The leaves 
     are nicely architectural, but I would like a bit of colour to brighten 
     up the grey winter days.
     
     Any other plants others can suggest?
     
     Thanks
