I don't remember all of them all the time, I have too many plants, so I have a list with all the plants in my garden, and I keep a drawing where I put in every time I plant a new plant.

In hot dry spring and summers they might be gone before end of June if you don’t water enough. Remember that you can’t pick them, they need to end their life by dying down, or else you won’t get any plants the next year!<br /><br />Trilliums take a good few years to clump up but they do multiply and won't need to be divided for many years. I love them, they are such gems in the garden, lasting just a short while and then they are gone until next year!<br />HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-30835723740400739212013-02-16T19:05:30.591+00:002013-02-16T19:05:30.591+00:00Hi Claire, hope you found your dream hellebore! I ...Hi Claire, hope you found your dream hellebore! I agree that postage at Coblands is a bit much if you only want one plant, but if you buy 4-5 or even more then postage is quite reasonable. If you order for more than £60, delivery is free - not likely for me, as much as I would like to spend £60 on plants in one go, I really could not afford that.<br /><br />I have been out gardening today too, and found my first crocuses in bloom! A lot happens in one day with just a bit improvement in the weather :-) HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-49937763135837982362013-02-16T15:43:53.683+00:002013-02-16T15:43:53.683+00:00Hi Helene,

Once spring gets here, I hope we have some nice spring weather.<br /><br />Hellebores are such cool plants! I am glad I discovered them a few years ago. I love trilliums, too, and hope the one a friend gave me last year survived. It went dormant pretty quickly, or else died. We will know in a couple months.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-37718958194573390202013-02-16T12:24:23.982+00:002013-02-16T12:24:23.982+00:00I agree the bulbs seem painfully slow.

It's pretty warm and spring like today though and forecast to be mild for the next few days so I'll be doing some serious gardening today.<br /><br />Thanks for the link to Coblands nursery by the way. I found my 'dream hellebore' on there but they are not dispatching until later in the month plus there was the delivery charge so I held back in the end. I'm popping out to buy some potting compost this afternoon - or at least pretending to.

Perhaps if you found a sheltered spot in your garden, or planted one in a large tub next to your house which you could wrap in a blanket and bubble wrap on cold nights during the winter, you could have one too?HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.com
