My hellebores, which are now in early bloom, are about 8yrs old. It may be they are a different variety, but there have never been 'babies like all of the small plants in your photo. I suggest Googling.
Definitely very healthy young seedlings! Mine always self seed but you never know what colours they will produce. Providing you dig them without hurting the roots too much, the will transplant very successfully. Enjoy
They are babies. They are very productive plants. Let them grow and share with friends.

Yes, those are babies! The Hellebore is a very prolific and HARDY plant. They have completely taken over my yard and difficult to "discourage" reproduction. Be prepared. As of this time, I have not found anything that will eliminate them. Digging them up, which is not an easy task-they are " runners", seems to stimulate the growth of others around them.
The previous owner of my house said these began with two plants.
Yes, they are new seedlings. You can let them grow or go ahead and relocate to other areas. I literally have hundreds that have spread and given to friends and also replant in other areas. I dig them up any time except winter.
Please, please, please visit u local greenhouse and bring pictures. They are the experts and should be able to answer ALL of your questions, even questions u have not yet thought to ask.
As stated above, yes, you have baby hellebores! Congrats! They are prolific self seeders. Several years ago, I clipped off the seed pods before they scattered. I threw them out in the common area behind us. This year, I have lots of blooming hellebores down there. I didn’t dig holes and plant them, I just threw them here and there. Wear gloves as some people get itchy rashes.
Yes, definitely babies! They don't breed true from seed so expect some variety in the blooms
you are a grandmother
Yes, they are lovely if they would stay contained in a specific area. But they really do take over the yard. Road trip to Georgia?? Come get all that you want. Hehehe.
no,louise,you are off the hook on that one,however,after bloomtime is over,you might consider transplanting some to relieve crowding-they do not come true from seed,so there is no telling what you have there....I'm sure you have other shade trees hankering for some landscapin',or some neighbors,maybe?garden groups?
