I've been saying for a while now that nursery stock has consistently been pretty root bound since the pandemic started, and this might be the worst case I've seen so far. More root than soil, and I had to cut the nursery pot away from it. The roots were so dense that I couldn't even tease them out without risk of damaging them. Not too surprising though, given that I impulse bought this at Trader Joe's of all places.
Yeah, my local Trader Joe's has hellebores, for some reason. Even the employee ringing me up was like "we have hellebores??"
It came with zero information except for a tag that says "helleborus" but I believe this is an "ice n' roses" which is a hybrid with a less droopy flower (personally I like the droopiness but these are nice too). So, now the allegedly blue hellebore has a friend on the other side of the front walk.
Now, on to my moss experiments...

I got an ask about what type if hellebores I grow earlier today, but it seems to have vanished. But anyway, any ID tag I had for them has long since been lost. If I had to guess, my favorite one is Frostkiss Dorothy's Dawn
Then the originals I transplanted from my dad's old house I think are Kingston Cardinal. I bought them bareroot from Burpee years ago, and this is the variety they have listed that I think most closely matches them.
