Jeanette ~ I would suggest that you not toss the rest...instead why not put a few in a paper towel and ziplock into the frig for a couple of weeks, then sow a few of those into your pot or seed bed. Then save the others and W/S them when it gets cool...that way you will know for the future which way is best for ripe seeds. I think they germinate naturally in the winter as that is when I discover the hellebore seedlings...they don't all survive in nature. So I suppose I had better pay more attention to those seedhead that develop in the fututre. Thanks again for sharing your experience with these.

This was taken in July when the seeds were forming in the flower...I did nothing to try and capture the seeds as I was thinking..."self-sow"...
