Hello :)
does anyone have any helibore seedlings that they would like to swap for some strawberry runners? I was watching a grdening program that said they self seed, so I was hoping someone had some popping up.
I dont know what types the strawberries are, but I have either white or pink flowered ones .
Thanks

Mine seem to be really behaved, not a seedling in sight. :(
Thanks for looking, star ;D
I hope you didnt get too wet!!

They always talk about seedlings of helibores on these gardening programmes but mine never seem to produce any. :(
My neighbour has a helibore just outside my gate and I have been watching for seedling for the past two years and was going to beg for a couple.... But not one insight. Perhaps there are some that don't have babies :'(
Ah well. Looks like I will remain heliboreless :(

I could spare a couple of last year's seedlings, but I forget which species they are. My standard hybrids have never self-set at all.
I'm sure I can get you some of mixed parentage if you want but it will take me a week or two to get round to digging them up.
Robert_Brenchley and Eristic,
thanks both . Will pm you.

It turns out they're Helleborus argutifolium. Someone on the site sent me a few seeds a couple of years back; I can't rememvber who it was, but I'm quite glad to share them out. The'll be coming in an old rat poison container, so don't be alarmed when it arrives!
Thanks Robert ;D Well, I've never had a delivery wrapped up in a rat poison container before!
I couldnt get to the lottie today, so will get your runners tomorrow and pop them in the post.
Thanks again

I picked up the strawberries from the parcels office first thing, thanks. I'll get them potted up tomorrow.
Hope they grow well for you, and you have LOADS of strawberries ;D

Give them time. I'll be growing them on for a year, and then we'll see.
