Title: Helleborus seeds
Post by: kalle-k.dk on January 06, 2013, 03:55:04 PM: I look for seeds from some Helleborus species. I know some of them are quite rare, but I hope some have seen them in the wild or grow them in the garden.

abruzzicus
atrorubens
bocconei
cyclophyllus
multifidus var.hercegovinus (Wild collected)
orientalis sp.abchasicus　
torquatus (wild collected)

He is away a lot, travelling, of course.
Did your friends contact him directly about their problems?
He's a forumist and so could be contacted via PM.

edit to add note and link
In the past we know Tom has had frustrating problems with his website, too!

My experience too is that he is really good person to deal with. But if you want something it would be best to email first as he may be sold out of the things you want as he tries to sell seed fresh. Hellebores and snowdrop seed is best sown promptly.
