Hello Nancy,
There is still a long list of easily grown hellebores to collect out
there after H.x hybridus. I have had H. purpuraascens in my garden for some
years now. One of my "wild" favorites. Some others that you may want to look
into (and have performed well for several years for me) are H. atrorubens,
and H. torquatus. H. odorus is a favorite of mine, and H. multifidius is
another "greenie" with its pride being the foliage.
I am on my 3rd try with H. argutifolius and still not much success..
foliage keep getting killed to the ground or beat up so bad it is the same
as dead.
