Yes and yes. We have them and they choose to grow pretty much anywhere they like. In my local park they are growing in full shade in a yew walk. They are the cockroach of the plant world.
Ah, wonderful, that's great to know.
I'll wait for them to beef up a bit over spring and summer and will get them into the ground in autumn, hopefully for a debut next year!
Does anyone have Hellebores growing in full shade? Maybe a little dappled light?
My mate has gifted me 8 seedlings :)
