I have fresh cuttings and am also wondering if I am able to harvest the seeds from these pods? Is the process any different than for when they are still on the ground?

I plant mine on the north side of my house and in my garden behind on in the shade of shrubs.

You can build a shaded tunnel or arbor to go over them. For example, you could grow a climbing rose up and over a large trellis and then plant the hellebores under the trellis in the shade from the rose.

Any other ideas for giving them what they need? Thank you!!

Only today did I find out why they wilted when I brought a bunch indoors, amazing! Now I have a few in my tiny garden and picked a bunch which I know won’t wilt. Thanks.

I found mine at a Trader Joe’s in Sarasota, Florida. They sell them around February and the plants were $10 each!

I have never heard that they are poisonous to the touch. I’ve harvested thousands of stems with my bare hands over many years and have never had any sort of reaction.

I’ve read that helebores are poisonous to the touch. Are they not poisonous if harvested before the seed pod develops? I’d like to put some in a low frog vase and want to be careful if necessary.
