They're located in VA so the plants won't take long to reach you. I also use Niche Gardens and Plant Delights in NC. White Flower Farms is massively overpriced. I've also heard good things about Gardens in the Wood at Grassy Creek. Since you live in Philly, you could visit Carolyn's Shade Gardens for expert info. I think hellebores need serious shade. At least mine do. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903271386070223045.post-12918625529319663042013-08-13T12:56:01.291-04:002013-08-13T12:56:01.291-04:00Sarah - Thank you for the bulb company ideas!

I'm doing a bit of an experiment (with a $20 plant, so karma is probably dooming me to fail already) by putting one in the shade of my problem viburnum. That way it does get a good chunk of shade most of the day.

They really do best when planted in true shade. They will survive with some sun, but really thrive in the shade. Some of the best performers at my mom's house were some extras that were tossed into the woods after being divided. <br /><br />The good thing about hellebores is that they multiply, so you can start them in true shade, and divide them later if you want to try them in a sunnier spot!_emily_rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044004465736417388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903271386070223045.post-268552614068945842013-08-10T09:42:44.669-04:002013-08-10T09:42:44.669-04:00Here are my two cents.

Others swear by Brent and Becky's Bulbs but I've never actually ordered from them. <br />Re the Hellebores - I think you would need to put them in part shade, since they'll need that cover once the leaves fill in and the Northeastern winter gray disappears. Although they are more sun tolerant than you might think.Sarah/ Galloping Horse Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863804034201109102noreply@blogger.com
