Purchased 3 2" potted hellebores from Stephanie Pierce (waterpondfarm) on DG coop @ $1.50 each + $4.95 shipping.
Plants received VERY healthy. I am very pleased. Requested "Picotee' but apparently grower shipped "mixed"

Potted all 3 plants into a large 5" round pot, set in a drip tray and put on counter by kitchen window.

I decided to move the pot to the grow lights. All 3 are still doing very well, but is now starting the 2nd bout of leaf death suddenly (1-2 days) and then a surge of new sprouts.
Not sure if this is common so have moved to the grow shelf just outside the lights.
Here's a pic of how they look today so I can compare to what happens near the grow lights. Need to keep an eye on the moisture level.

Transplanted the 2 that survived the indoor "culture" I gave them to the new East shade bed in front of the fireplace flue.

Kind of struggling now, but I think they tend to slow in growth during the heat of summer. (at least I HOPE that's what it is!)
