<< Have just collected some ripe Helleborus orientalis seeds and am wondering
 when is the best time to sow?  I have noticed babes under the mother plant,
 so I assume that now would be the proper time.  I know they can sometimes
 take forever to germinate.  Any suggestions? >>

Ginny,

I recently had a conversation with a grower of helleborus.  He stated that the
seed pods explode when they are ripe and that his biggest problem was catching
the seeds so that he could control where they germinate.  Try using a old
nylon slipped over the ripening pods so that you can catch the seeds when they
open, then sow right away.
