~ you could put it in a pot which would stop it ramping all over the place?~ it would be a shame to kill it off especially if it is a pretty one?

Mine are in pots because the summerhouse took their site and I havn't found another suitable place yet. I shall try, because they are now deteriorating - they seem unhappy in the pots. It depends how much suitable space is available. My light/shade shelter has been changed by the neighbour's cabin, so I have to wait and see how much...I love them but they do need space.

Pots are a good idea. Are you meaning they seed around, because you can always pot them on & sell them or give them to a charity shop to sell, or give them away to friends. As you've seen you get some lovely colours.

~ The local Hellebore nursery has all it's stock plants in huge pots,and they look great!

You could try some different varieties. Maybe the others will be better behaved . But I wouldn't get rid of the one you've got. You could try it in a pot as others have suggested.

you could put a border round it in the ground to what size you want it to grow Drc, like that plastic border edging, shame to take it out again , they are lovely :o))

I have mine in a pot.

Mine are planted out but I suppose it depends which type you have. They have never self-seeded...yet! :o)

When I was unable to garden for a year the one plant ended up taking over an area of about 6by10ft they were every where. Perhaps I will try them in pots as they are so pretty.
