Yikes. I found one hellebore purchase is plenty, as they reseed.

I can't imagine what projects you have in the works ~ your garden is always pretty much perfect in my book. I will definitely have to keep dropping by to see what they are...<br />The polygala is beautiful and just your (our) color ~ have you gone back for it yet???!!!!<br />I'm curious too about why/how you are able to resist hellebores?? Maybe (as I'm thinking about it) because you have so many other unique plants??? Hope all is well and happy Spring!Kathleenhttp://www.kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-53135830117315339182014-03-17T15:04:44.607-07:002014-03-17T15:04:44.607-07:00You should definitely get that Polygala!

On the other hand, they only bloom now and are just little green shrublets for the rest of the year.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-18852346823887364582014-03-15T09:42:10.175-07:002014-03-15T09:42:10.175-07:00I came to your blog from a reference as one of the...I came to your blog from a reference as one of the top ten blogs.

Imagine there's something under snow, who knew? Thank goodness, we can't plant without a jackhammer, otherwise I'd be picking up 10 of everything and trying to source hand grenades to plant them all. I don't know if you guys know how much it means to us frozen folk to see some green plants. Thanks so much.<br />B.Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-26120127877745351612014-03-14T14:52:25.956-07:002014-03-14T14:52:25.956-07:00Grace girl I think you need that Polygala in your ...Grace girl I think you need that Polygala in your pink garden. After sticker shock that is. LOL! I love the pink Hellebores. I just wish they did not have sagging heads. :) I bought a mix one year and of course they all turned out whitish green. Not my idea of a great flower but hey I will take it this year.On second thought any weed will look good to me after this winter though. LOL! But you really so nee the Polygala.

They start budding here in December, and somehow survive our brutal zone 5 winters and bloom in early spring. Love 'em!
