Re: Transplanting hellebore seedlings


Don, are you planning on potting them up or replanting them in the garden? 
If potting, I'd go ahead and do it now.  If planting out in the garden, I'd
leave them until spring as they are still very tiny and could heave on you
over winter.  If they were my children, I'd pot them up and overwinter
either in my cold greenhouse or a coldframe...somewhere with some
protection from the elements.
