Helleborus x hybridus 'Harvington Pink Speckled'

Flower coming to an end and losing its colour and lustre

The variety is Harvington Pink Speckled not double variety, cataloging

It’s still nice though. 💛

I agree @suerichards, beautiful. Been out for weeks.

Fantastic. Looks so good even having gone to seed 💛😍

I'm going to give seed collection a go, always a first. @jeatacake

Really pretty . Hard to imagine it's coming to an end. 😍😍

Watch them closely. As soon as the pods look at all dry or are splitting get them collected or they'll be dropped! 👍

Whats the best way to collect, dead head them or capture seeds in situ @jeatacake

You'd need to put something over then to collect the seeds when they pop. I've never tried it, but some kind of very fine netting if you had some, but a cloth bag would do it. Something that let's air circulate. An old sock would do it too maybe? 🤔

@jeatcake do you also know if easy to grow from seed??

Very easy, just need patience. Plant them straight away cover them about 5 cm deep & leave them, but keep them moist. Some will germinate in a few weeks & the rest gradually, as late as next spring 👍
