I will ask again---How come I never see any babies under my Hellebores?????

Do you all let the old wer heads stay on the plant and do they drop seed?
I have 7 Hellenbores--and have never seen any babies....:o(
Will look again.. What should I look for?

I have a double pink/mauve one I got in a trade from someone sevral tears ago. It is just lovely!
Buried in a bunch of leaves...

Another question: Do you trim the old leaves away at this time--I have done some of them.
It occurred to me that maybe the old, yukky leave serve a protective purpose to the new emerging blooms.

Your thoughts, please.....Thanks, Gita
