Hey Doris!
They are at a local nursery on the Summer Clearance list. I am embarrassed to post how cheap they are.. just suffice it to say REALLY CHEAP. I just want to get the best performers since garden space is limited until I make new beds! LOL!
Thanks for any and all advice!

H. foetidus
I am happy to find out that H. foetidus is popular in the US For us, this native plant has become a weed. But what a fabulous weed! It is the only good looking plant in winter, if the snow is not too deep. i have learned to be selective and keep only the best. This year I found 3 variegated seedlings.
Thanks for the info!
I picked up

Optimism
and planted them a fwe weeks ago. I am surprised to see them putting up so much new growth in a relatively short time. If course, I did try to pick the ones that were bursting out of the little liner pots ad they seem VERY happy to stretch their toes right now.
I will probably pick up a few more when I go shopping again next week! and definitely a Foetidus.
BTW - are Hellebores Deer resistant? I am waging an all out war with a buck that has taken up residence in my yard. The stupid thing doesn't even run when I come outside now, he just looks at me and ambles off. I was so mad yesterday I picked up one of the dogs tennis balls and hit him square in the butt with it. He trotted a few steps and then stopped and looked at me like I was insulting him! SHEESH!

Alexa,
I have a deer problem to the extent that I no longer bother growing hostas etc. and have never had a deer eat a hellebore (I have grown thousands from seed). I have heard of deer eating hellebore leaves (not sure if it's accurate), but if a deer ate too much the deer would probably die. I consider them totally deer resistant here in TN. There are very few pests/problems with hellebores.
