H. niger is probably one of the most difficult to grow well. It is very site specific and either likes where you put it or dies. I've lost a few.

Just received the February edition of "The Garden", and with it is RHS Plants Spring catalogue. On page 5, item 4 ,they list "Helleborus purpurascens (PBR)". PLANT BREEDERS` RIGHTS! For a species? Come on RHS! Must try harder! Probably a form of Helleborus x hybridus.

I'm not usually a fan of double flowers, but that is something quite special.

I don't know, but Professor Google might  :).

Perhaps try http://www.hazlescrossfarmnursery.co.uk/ or http://www.ashwoodnurseries.com/shop/plants/hellebores.html or http://www.grahamrice.com/hellebore/sources/sourcesuk.html?

All you folks are well ahead of me but this one is coming into flower. Not very showy but I like it

Helleborus vesicarius raised from seed. It is only about 8 inches high (20cm)

Excellent Ian, I have tried and failed with this one - what is your secret?

Ralph I too failed first time. The way I saw this growing in Will McLewin's garden was in a very well drained spot and he gave it some overhead protection for a few weeks in the wettest part of winter ( I use an open ended cloche). I have another seedling in reserve so we shall see. Tim Murphy grows this outside perhaps if he is watching he will comment

Good luck
