'Silver Red' sounds intriguing thanks for the heads up. Does 'Boles Form'
have any red in it? Will have to seek them out. My 'Wester Flisk' strain
grows pretty big over here on the left coast (accept for this year I cut it
back fairly late to get it under control so it is smaller). Any ideas where
I can find these new guys?

Hello Debra,
There are several forms of Helleborus foetidus in addition to "Wester
Flisk' strain. Most have been around for some time, but just now really
beginning to get into American nursery trade. Keep an eye out for 'Boles
Form' ... mostly it is larger in all respects with finer divided foliage.
There is also a form discovered on the west coast that is working its way
eastward called 'Silver Red'. Red stems, silver foliage.There are more, but
that is the best my little brain can come up with this early in the morning.
