Gardening

Of course, nor are they on hostas. But if you mass hostas it can give a nice floral effect. And my plain green ones have the best purple flowers.

The main problem with most hellebore blooms being that they face down. Would be better on a retaining wall or some elevation where the flowers become more visible.

Like many hostas, hellebores do tend to reseed themselves, which is great if you want to fill an area. Can make a pretty good tallish groundcover in a relatively shady area.

As far as I know the deer don't eat my hostas (though I know they do in many cases), but the voles do. And I don't believe the voles touch the hellebores.
